  • Method for identity theft protection
    Publication number: 20020087460
    Abstract: A method for protecting against identity theft by monitoring a consumer's credit information. The consumer's initial credit information is verified. The credit information is then monitored for changes in personal information or open credit. If changes are made, the consumer is notified. Unauthorized or invalid changes are corrected. In this manner, unauthorized attempts to open credit in the consumer's name are quickly identified and corrected, thus protecting against theft of the consumer's identity by a third party.
