If
You Become A Victim...
 Inform Your Credit Card Company
If a thief has gained access to your credit
card, contact the security department of that credit card
company immediately.
- Close any affected accounts so that
they are registered as “closed
at customer request.”
- Get new account numbers, and
protect the accounts with secure passwords.
- Follow up
with a letter documenting the date, the name of the person
who helped you, and what actions were taken
regarding your case.
Just because one card has been compromised,
you may not want to close all of your credit accounts, and
you may
want to hold
on to some cards for financial reasons. You may want to get
counselling about this decision from a victim assistance
group..
