Lost my purse

Yeah, I lost my purse on Monday about mid-day. I was hoping that maybe I'd left it at Marcus's and not on campus somewhere, but no such luck. I've called the two buildings it could be in and find out if anything was in lost and found, but no such luck. I've put a fraud alert on my credit card, gotten a replacement, and changed my debit/ATM card.  ( Read more... )

Since you lost your Social Security Card, you should file a fraud alert with the three major credit reporting agencies for your protection. Filing just on your credit card only protects you for that your card, not your entire credit history. This website is a good reference point: http://www.consumer.gov/idtheft/con_steps.htm

Also, once you get your new SS Card, don't carry it with you. Lock in a very safe place. The only time you ever need it is when you have to provide proof of residence when you start a new job.

Thanks Amy. I went through Equifax (it was the only name I could remember!) yesterday to put the fraud alert on my credit (that's where I went first) so I should be good there as they said I only needed to report it to one and it would be shared with the other 2. Of course I'm still hoping it shows up, but just in case I'm taking the measures (I'd much rather be safe than sorry).

Hope you are doing well!
