As technology continues to advance, so does the complexity of financial fraud.
Earlier this month, we wrote two articles that highlight the various ways that fraudsters try to gain access to your personal information. It is also just as important to know how to monitor how your personal information is being used and to make sure everything is accurate and up to date.A few years ago, we wrote about when you go for your first physical with a doctor, they may talk about creating a baseline. Establishing an initial baseline is important as each patient is different.
When it comes to financial fraud risk, it is also possible to create a baseline. For many people, the monitoring of financial fraud risk is something you must do yourself. This article will provide some guidance on the first step in creating your own financial fraud baseline.There are two nationwide credit reporting agencies in Canada: Equifax Canada Co. and Trans Union of Canada, Inc. .
Once Equifax receives your application, it will be sent to your home by Canada Post within five to ten business days.The in-person option only works for individuals who live near where an Equifax office is located. Equifax has three consumer care facilities located in Ontario, PEI, and Nova Scotia. For anyone living west of Ontario, the in-person option is not practical.The customer care phone number for Equifax is 1 465-7166.
The in-person option only works for individuals that live near where a TransUnion office is located. TransUnion has three consumer care facilities located in Nova Scotia, Ontario, and PEI. For anyone living west of Ontario, the in-person option is not practical.The customer care phone number for TransUnion is 1 663-9980 . Applying by phone is also an easy and practical way to request your credit report. In less than ten minutes you should be able to answer the questions in the IVR.
