Credit Monitoring

Thanks to Wm Rowe

I’m glad we finally got High Speed Internet in our town. Dial up was starting to get old, and I use the internet a lot. I signed up to have my credit report monitored by Equifax.com after my identity was stolen a few years ago. It was really difficult to fix my credit after that experience. It has been over two years since this fiasco started, and I still get calls from collection agencies claiming that I owe money on debts that are not mine. I have already formally contested all of them, and it still hasn’t stopped. I have become so paranoid about my credit information being stolen again that I try to check the activity on Equifax.com every day. I know I’m probably being over vigilant but it just makes me feel better to take a look. I can’t believe that there are so many people out there waiting to pounce on your identity and make your life so difficult. Another thing that I do now is try to pay in cash most of the time. It makes me feel much better not to disclose my credit card number to so many people.
