Oprah's show was about online fraud today and it blew my mind. i was a victim of idenity theft before it really became popular and it was horrible. The person wrote $4600 in checks from my account. I still haven't gotten it figured out.

You should have received a letter telling you of their decision. This letter should have included information about receiving a free copy of your credit report. Their decision to decline a line of credit is based on what is on your report and by law you are entitled to a copy of the report. You are given 90 days to request it. I would also suggest you enroll in Transunion's Credit Monitoring program. Pricing depends on their current promotions but as of today, you can purchase your first report and scores from the 3 agencies for $14.95 per month. As long as you're in the program you are entitled to unlimited reports and scores from all 3 agencies, you will be notified of any critical changes within 24hrs and will be you will have Identity Theft Insurance of 25K . You can also add a fraud alert message to your credit report to help protect your credit information. Fraud alert messages notify potential credit grantors to verify your identification before extending credit in your name in case someone is using your information without your consent. When you have no proof that Identity Theft has occurred but believe there is a possibility, you can add a 90 day alert. If you find that you are indeed a victim, contact your police department and have them issue you a report. With this, you will be able to add a 7 year fraud alert to your file.
