What to do if you have been a victim of identity fraud, or suspect

If you think your identity has been stolen, it is important to act straight away.  If you believe that any of your accounts may have been taken over or accessed here are some steps to follow:

• Report this to the police, with as much information as you can and you will be given a police report number which you can give to organisations that you have accounts with.
• Notify organisations that you have accounts with (or that you suspect may have been accessed).  They can then assist you in securing your account by locking it, updating passwords, and investigating the issue.
• Update your passwords, first ensuring that if you believe your email has been compromised your update the password for this first.
