IDENTITY THEFT
Look for suspicious bills, letters, or junk mail Keep your child’s PFI locked up and resist sharing it Shred documents as you would your own Definitely check around their 16th birthday If you suspect that your child’s information may be at risk, check
whether your child has a credit report by contacting each of the three nationwide credit reporting companies:
Equifax: 800.525.6285Experian: 888.397.3742
TransUnion: [email protected] or 800.680.7289Ask them to search using your child’s name and Social Security
number; if nothing turns up, ask for a so-called manual search using just your child’s Social Security number.
