Also, another thing you can do is get a free copy of your credit report from the big three I mentioned; and, then, look for open accounts you no longer use to close them.
Some say that’s bad, because it can hurt your credit score, but I would rather close an old account I no longer use than leave it open for someone else to find and then have to fight with them when a fraud is committed on it!
But if you don’t care, about your score, then close all of the accounts except for ones you need.

You can place a 90 day fraud alert on your credit with the three major credit reporting agencies free. Just go to the sites for Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion; and then either get the numbers and do the reporting by phone, or, use the online forms and do it on the web. Either way you can do this every 90 days for free; and, it helps protect you from a criminal ruining your credit score.
P.S., It’s part of what the LifeLock service does for you automatically. But they charge $10 a month.
