When you become a victim of
identity theft, immediately you need to put a fraud alert on your
credit reports. You can put an initial alert and an extended alert on
your credit reports. An extended alert stays for about 7 years. You can
also put a credit freeze so that no one can open an account in your
name.
Check your credit reports and dispute any incorrect information.
However, you're liable to pay any outstanding balance before your
identity was stolen.
