Identity Theft

If You Become a Victim

    If you become a victim of identity theft, the following tips are offered to help a person report and document the theft.

• Report the crime to police immediately.

• Contact the VP/cashier at Campbell & Fetter Bank for bank related issues.

• Notify each of your credit card issuers about the crime.

• Call the fraud units of the three major credit reporting agencies.

• Notify your gas, electric, water and trash utilities that you are the victim of identity theft, and alert them to the possibility that the thief may try to establish accounts using your identification information.

• If your Social Security number has become associated with dishonored checks and bad credit, it is possible in extreme cases, to obtain a new Social Security number.

• If you suspect that an identity theft has stolen your mail or has filed a change of address request in your name, notify the Postal Inspector.

• Follow-up contacts with letters and keep copies of all correspondence.

• Check each credit report carefully when you receive it.  Look for accounts that you have not applied for and for charges you have not incurred.
