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. Consider reporting the exposure to the U.S. State Department if you see suspicious activity; a new passport invalidates the old number.
  3. 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.
  4. Get your free credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com and look for accounts you do not recognize.
  5. Call the Cerenade helpline at 1-833-788-9712 if you have questions about your letter.
