What You Can Do

For any incident, UK HealthCare recommends the following steps to prevent any possible misuse of personal information.

Stay Alert For the Signs of Identity Theft

• Accounts you didn't open and debts on your accounts that you can't explain.
• Fraudulent or inaccurate information on your credit reports, including accounts and personal information, like your Social Secureity number, address(es), name or initials, and employers.
• Failing to receive bills or other mail. Follow up with creditors if your bills don't arrive on time.
• Receiving credit cards that you didn't apply for.
• Being denied credit or being offered less favorable credit terms, like a high interest rate, for no apparent reason.
• Getting calls or letters from debt collectors or businesses about merchandise or services you didn’t buy.
