DH and I had a meeting with a banker at US Bank first thing yesterday morning. We brought the history of our hacked credit along with us and by the time we left 45 minutes later, the accounts had been tagged and closed and we were setting out to call and contact a lot of people. We've now got fraud alerts set up through the major credit bureaus, and alerts filed with the Social Security Administration, the Federal and State governments, etc. It could have been worse - we caught this very quickly.
We have set up Fraud Alerts and contacted a lot of people regarding this episode. DH is still rather upset about the whole thing, I'm a bit more laid back. We're on top of it, though. |
From the first phone call on Friday the 6th, we had everything shut down on the 12th. Only six days - I'm glad we caught it that quickly. When I first spoke to US Bank on the phone on Saturday, the social security numbers of the new accounts and our actual numbers didn't match. By the time we closed everything down six days later, they did match - very troubling. But, we've got it nailed now and, hopefully, we won't have another episode.
There you have it - a day in the exciting life of me - LOL. Not so very exciting, really., and when it is, it's exciting in all the wrong ways :-) Here's hoping your Friday will NOT bring you massive rain heading to snow and that your credit reports are all solid. I'll be back tomorrow, so have a safe and happy day.
