Has your identity been stolen?

Here are some important signs:

• Bills and statements don't arrive when they are supposed to – they may have been stolen from the mailbox or someone has changed the mailing address
• You receive calls from collection agencies or creditors for an account you don't have or that is up to date. Someone may have opened a new account in your name, or added charges to an account without your knowledge or permission
• Financial account statements show withdrawals or transfers you didn't make
• A creditor calls to say you've been approved or denied credit that you haven't applied for. Or, you get credit card statements for accounts you don't have
• You apply for credit and are turned down, for reasons that do not match your understanding of your financial position
