Hi Coach.

I am sorry you were robbed and are experiencing a lot of stress. Just in case you haven’t been told yet, you should do the following without delay. File a police report, not just regarding the physical theft, but also include the ID theft information in the report. Get a copy of the police report.

Contact the three major credit bureaus, TransUnion. Equifax, and Experian, and report to them the ID theft (they will require the police report), and ask for a security alert and a fraud alert to be placed on your account in all three credit bureaus. Also ask all three credit bureaus for a copy of your credit report (this is not a credit score) to check for any fraudulent activity. With the police report you should not have to pay for any of these requests. You can contact them online, by phone, or by mail. I personally prefer to do it by mail (but do whatever is easiest for you).

“If you suspect that your identification information has been or could be used fraudulently, you can add an Initial Security Alert to your credit report. An Initial Security Alert remains on your report for ninety days.”

“You can add an Extended Fraud Victim Alert to your report by submitting a copy of a valid identity theft report that you have filed with a Federal, State or local law enforcement agency. An Extended Alert will remain on your report for seven years.”
