What do you do if an identity thief has opened up banks in your name??

Question

Just just banks but everything else that they can open up.
Whats the best thing to do?

Answer 1

mmmm...call the bank, call the police, then call the credit bureaus...have them put a freeze on your credit report so that no one (not even you) can open accounts without you being there in person....so this means you can't open accounts over the phone or internet

Answer 2

All of the answers are good things to do. But first of all get your credit reports and see if anything else has happened. Contact the bank and report the problem and ask for the bank's fraud department. They should be able to direct you from there.

You should do these ASAP, this is very serious.
