Identity Theft

October 16th, 2007

Someone has their indentity stolen every forty (40) seconds in the United States. The average time it takes to deal with your indentity being stolen is 1,500 manhours at an average cost of $2,500.00. Each person would be well advised to secure a copy of their credit report from the three credit reporting agencies: Trans Union, Equifax and Experian. You are entitled to receive a free copy of your credit report each year. The time it takes to obtain the report and check it closely for accounts that are not yours, etc. may be the best time investment you’ll make this year.
