CHECK  LIST  FOR  VICTIMS If you become a victim of identity theft, you should do the following: File a police report. Contact your banker. Notify credit bureau fraud units. Place a fraud alert statement on your credit report. Request that credit bureaus identify accounts closed due to          fraud as "closed at consumer's request." Request free credit reports (fraud victims are entitled to two          free credit reports from each of the credit bureaus). Report check theft to check verification companies. Check post office for unauthorized change of address          requests. Follow-up contacts with letter and keep copies of all          correspondence.
