What to do...
Oct. 22nd, 2008 03:52 pm...when your wallet is stolen.
* call your bank and have them put a stop on all check and card purchases.
* fill out a charge dispute form for an illegal purchase on your check card.
* contact the bank's fraud division and have them flag your account.
* cancel all credit cards and request new account numbers and cards.
* file a police report.
* file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.
* contact the credit reporting agencies.
* put a 90-day fraud alert on your credit file.
* change over all direct deposits and automatic payments to new accounts.
* order new checks.
* get new IDs and library cards.
* cry from frustration.
Lameness.
