Protect your identity
Don’t become a victim of identity theft.
What is identity theft?
Identity theft is when someone uses your personal information without your permission. They may open a credit card account, get a loan, or rent apartments in your name using your personal information. They also might access your bank or retirement accounts. You may not know that identity theft has happened until you see your credit report, are notified when trying to apply for credit, or get called by a debt collector.
For more information about identity theft, visit the Federal Trade Commission's website or the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's website.
Spot identity theft early. Review your credit reports for free. Federal law allows you to get a free copy every 12 months from each credit reporting agency. Go to annualcreditreport.com to request your free credit report. Give our loan department a call if you have questions about the information on your credit report.
