ID Theft

Free Annual Credit Reports

FTC Identity Theft site

1-888-5-OPT-OUT - Phone number to remove your name from the list maintained by the major consumer reporting companies for firm offers of credit or insurance.

I printed 2 of 3 of my credit reports for free. Experian and Equifax were quite simple and painless. In contrast, Transunion has been rather difficult, requiring me to create a user account and then claiming that the site is experiencing high volumes of requests and asking me to return in 30 minutes and try to process my request again.

We'll see what happens, but at this point I am quite peeved.
