Many people have fallen victim to identity theft and credit fraud such that it's become essential for us to keep an eye on our credit. Most of the time, a fraud victim finds out a little too late that his or her identity has been compromised. My own brother was surprised to learn after a visit to the bank that his social security number had a variety of foreign identities associated with it! And just how many times have I been called by my credit card company about suspicious activity on my account? One time too many. So it's time to fight back with a few options.
