Preventing Identity Theft
Identity theft can cause you huge
headaches, but having your house sold without your knowledge is among the worst
kind of outcome that can result. Take steps to prevent identity theft and fraud
by :
- Checking
your credit reports (www.equifax.ca, www.transunion.ca), credit card and
bank statements regularly for inconsistencies, unknown charges and
unauthorized credit inquiries.
- Not giving
out personal information unless you know who you are dealing with, how it
will be used, and if it will be shared.
- Protecting
your mail and being aware if bills don’t arrive on time.
- Shredding
all documents with personal or financial information.
- Safeguarding
your PIN and decline the “remember me” on-line option for financial cards.
And speak to us about how title
insurance could help protect your home from real estate title fraud!
