Identity Theft of Minors
Identity theft of minors is on the rise. Minors are considered to be a good target for criminals because children do not typically have an open credit file. Since children do not open up credit files at a young age, parents/guardians are not looking to see if their child has a credit report. Below are tips on what to do in order to keep your child’s identity protected.
- Create a credit file on your child’s behalf
- Freeze the credit file
- Keep a record of the freeze on file
