Social Security cannot fix your credit record. To fix your credit

If someone used your Social Security number to get credit, Social Security cannot fix your credit record. To fix your credit record:

* Call the creditors who approved the credit (follow up with a letter).
* File a police report.
* Contact the fraud department of the major credit bureaus. Ask:
1). To have a flag placed on your record, requiring creditors to contact you before approving additional credit using your name and number;
2). How long your account will be flagged and how you can extend the flag, if necessary; and
3). To have a statement added to your credit report—include your name, explain the problem and provide a telephone number where someone can call you.
