Identity Theft Gets Worse

If you haven't read any of my previous posts about my identity theft, you need to read them in order to catch up on what I'm saying. Today I received a notice in the mail. The notice was from a Road Loans and referred to an Equifax Report. If you don't know what Equifax is, I'll explain.

Equifax is a credit reporting company. It's one of the 3 credit bureaus that companies use to see if you qualify for a particular lone, etc.

The letter was informing me that I was unfortunately denied a loan. The loan was for a place called Road Loans. Apparently they give loans to people for cars, and they do all this through the Internet.

After receiving the letter I proceeded to try and call Equifax, but the recording was for getting your credit report. To do that or anything else with Equifax, you have to do so through mail. After attempting that I Googled Road Loans. Luckily I found their website and matched the letter head to that of the letter I received. I then called Road Loans myself.

It's funny trying to explain that someone by the name of "yourself" tried to get a loan for "yourself". LOL. That's the last joke I'll make about this. I'm really freaked out, but I've done some research and acting fast is the most important course of action. Or at least I hope. I have no idea what to do to make sure this doesn't go any further. It's really scary to have someone out their trying to buy things in your name (and sometimes succeeding).

Researching identity theft online I found this website. It's a government type site that has lots of good advice on identity theft and what to do. I wrote some numbers and addresses down to contact. They include places that are supposed to notify credit bureaus like Equifax. I'll keep everyone posted on what happens next. Thank God the loan for Road Loans was denied because and I quote, "Social Security Number - Unable to verify". I'm just afraid the bad guys may be trying to get my Social Security Number and take this identity theft thing to a whole new level.
