| If you feel like you are ever at any risk for identity theft please act as prompltly as possible. It can quickly save your credit the sooner you act. |

Yes fraud alert is the best way to prevent identity theft. As far as I know, whenever you opt for fraud alert service with the credit bureaus, you are entitled to one free credit report from each of the three credit bureaus. Moreover, you need not contact all the three bureaus for activating fraud alert services. If you ask one of the bureaus to activate the service, the service would be activated with the other bureaus automatically.

| Really good point Carol. You are correct in informing the poster all three will not be automatically contacted by contacting one. The poster can alos have three free reports (one from each bureau) even if she just wants to check her credit annually. Just visit "www.annualcreditreport.com". Always print the copy and keep it for future reference because after 30 days you can no longer view it for free on the net. |

| I might add that if you file any disputes online you should also print a copy of it. You can also comment on each entry on your report, you can print these off too. Keeping a copy of all this may come in handy later, especially if you are disputing items on your report. |

that is good advice erb, you will want to have it all in print form and follow up with the credit reporting agency if necessary.

I have learned the hard way, just got another bill in the mail, an old bill that was paid off along time ago, I have to dig out my paid in full letter and let them know that this was paid in full a long time ago, I just hope these jerks did not tag my credit report already.
This is exactly why you have to get it in print.

Isn't that insane. I hate when you have something paid and they send you another bill. Like I need to go through all the aggravation again. I had this done to me by Berkheimer a few years ago.
They sent my husband and I both letters saying we forgot to pay our personal taxes in 2001. So I paid then. With lots of fees added on. The original was only 20 bucks but when they were done it was almost 60 EACH.
Well the next week I got a new set,yep for both of us..same amounts..so I thought no way I forgot these two years in a row (I am anal when it comes to paying taxes).So i took the letters to my tax collector. She said they were doing this with everyone and she was having complaints. She hoped I didn't pay anything yet.
She looked them up and I had in fact paid 2001 but not 2002. Those people at berkheimer wouldn't even credit the payment to 2002 and once you pay them they DO NOT refund. They are not legally entitled to.
I tried everything, even shopwing copies and still had to pay again. I was steamed. |

In thia market you cna look at some of the Healthcare stocks and also some thefinancials.
