How Do I Know if An Inaccuracy on My Credit Report is A Mistake or Identity Theft?
Mistakes on credit reports do happen. You can usually get them disputed and removed. But how do you know when a mistake is identity theft? You won’t always be sure but look for these common indicators:
* Multiple errors. A pattern of errors may show intentional abuse
* Long term errors. A card with an ever growing balance and no payment could be an intentional scammer.
* Problems that occur perennially. If you fix one issue only to have a second your issues may be malicious.
Remember that vigilance is your best friend.
