What to do now

  1. Freeze your credit for free at Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, and request an IRS Identity Protection PIN at irs.gov to block fraudulent tax returns in your name.
  2. Contact your state DMV to ask whether your license number should be replaced, and watch for accounts opened with your ID.
  3. Consider reporting the exposure to the U.S. State Department if you see suspicious activity; a new passport invalidates the old number.
  4. Your date of birth is often used to verify identity: add a fraud alert to your credit file so lenders must confirm it is really you.
  5. Call your bank, ask about extra monitoring or a new account number, and review statements for small unknown charges.
  6. Be wary of calls or texts that mention this incident and ask for codes or payment.
  7. Get your free credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com and look for accounts you do not recognize.
  8. Call the Mission Bancorp helpline at 1-833-799-4293 if you have questions about your letter.
