Fair Credit Reporting: 14.6.6.2 Heading Off New Identity Theft Problems
The consumer should not stop at cleaning up the problems the identity thief caused on the consumer’s current credit record. Because additional credit could be taken out in the consumer’s name or fraudulent checks cashed, the consumer should continue to monitor their consumer report to make sure that fraudulent items are not reinserted and that new fraudulent accounts are not added. The consumer should obtain a copy of the report every several months from each of the “Big Three” CRAs.
