Neighborhood Notes

Just read the notes and in particular Bryce's suggestion to put a "fraud alert" on your credit reports if you think you've been a victim of identity theft. It might be helpful to educate people that a fraud alert is a "flag" that is added to your credit report via the credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. It's easy to do and can usually be accomplished by making one phone call to Equifax at 1-800-525-6285. The alert is in effect for 90 days free of charge. I wasn't sure how else to get this information to you and am not sure that it's the type of thing you want to publish but it just seems to complete Bryce's suggestion.
