The best advice I can give is to lock all of your credit data, i.e. Equifax, Transunion, etc.

I had no idea what to do. I called the sheriff. His office provided step-by-step instructions, on a printed hand-out. The first step was to freeze the credit reporting .. Equifax, Transunion, and Esperion.


Freezing your credit reports works pretty good at stopping someone using your info to open new accounts. When you need to open something, you have to remember to unfreeze and freeze back again but it as close to sure fire protection you are going to get anymore.

My wife asked if I had seen the dog bowl. I told her I didn't even know he could.
