Emergency Lost Wallet Actions

 

· File a police report as soon as you can to prove to credit providers that you acted
diligently and took the first step toward an investigation of the crime.

· Immediately call the three national credit reporting organizations to place a fraud alert on
your name and social security number. This alert means that any company that checks your
credit knows your information was stolen and they must contact you to authorize new credit.

These three credit organizations are Equifax at 1–888–766–0008,
Experian at 1–888–397–3742, and Trans Union at 1–800–680–7289.

· Contact your bank as soon as possible if your checkbook is stolen.

Photocopy both sides of your credit cards and other important documents and keep these in
a separate, easily accessible location. As a result, you will have all of your vital information
and can quickly call your credit card companies and cancel your cards.
