What to do now
- 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.
- Contact your state DMV to ask whether your license number should be replaced, and watch for accounts opened with your ID.
- Consider reporting the exposure to the U.S. State Department if you see suspicious activity; a new passport invalidates the old number.
- 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.
- Call your bank, ask about extra monitoring or a new account number, and review statements for small unknown charges.
- Ask your card issuer to replace the card and review recent transactions; card fraud is usually refunded if reported quickly.
- Review the Explanation of Benefits statements from your insurer for services you never received.
- Ask your insurer whether a new member ID can be issued, and check claims made under your policy.
- Request an IRS Identity Protection PIN and watch for IRS letters about returns you did not file.
- Get your free credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com and look for accounts you do not recognize.
- Call the iHeartMedia + Entertainment, Inc. helpline at 1-855-260-0508 if you have questions about your letter.
