Everyday Randomness

Dealing With Identity Theft

It’s been a few months since I had a potential identity theft crisis on my hands, but I have to admit once it was over I really did stop thinking about it. The thought crept back up in my mind the other day when I requested my credit score. I kept thinking what if something pops up on here that shouldn’t be there. What if that woman really did get information that could hurt me.

Thankfully my credit report came back looking even better than I expected, and I didn’t have anything suspicious on it, but it would have happened. It really does make me wonder if I should start using a service like lifelock.

One scare certainly is enough, but I dealt with two scares in such a short time. I can’t believe I’ve let myself slack off as much as I have. At least I know if we were using lifelock I could be certain that my identity is perfectly safe, and I could slack off without having to kick myself for not paying attention. I might just have to have a talk with Hubby to see what he thinks about signing up for the service.
