Re: Where do I begin? Whew

You might freeze your reports also. Being a banker he can pull them any time to see what new accounts he would like to target. So, if he doesn't have that info, it might slow him down a bit. I would make new email, log-ins, passwords, security questions, cell number, opt out and lock up... everything. I know it's a chore and very inconvenient, but what you are going thru is much, much worse.

 

      only the best of luck in all of this

elim is Right!. There is normally a fee to place a freeze on your reports, to keep anyone from pulling your credit. But since you are technically a victim of Identity theft you can request this free of charge I believe. And yes...prepaid debit card is a glorified gift card. But they come with "banking" privileges now like bill pay, routing number, etc. Just minus the checks...

Currently I'm using amex bluebird and you can order checks, deposit checks, send money, direct deposit.
Only bad thing is atm fees.
