I think my mail has been stolen, what should I do?
 
 
1. Contact the three credit reporting agencies to place a fraud alert on your credit report. Request your complementary credit reports for your review.

2. Contact the Post Office and report the crime to the Postal Inspector.

3. Contact the Police Department and make an initial impact report.

4. Make a list of bills, correspondence, etc that you may have not received.

5. Contact all financial institutions and credit cards companies you do business with to notify them that your information might have been compromised. Will want to password protect those accounts.

6. Monitor your credit report and monthly account statements closely. Notify the company during the first billing cycle of any fraudulent entries.

7. We recommend a locked mail box or a P.O. Box at the Post Office.
