How to prevent identity fraud when someone has your mortgage application information?
By
I got a letter from my mortgage company saying that an employee “may” have sold the information off my application. They have fired the person, but the deed is already done. What should I do? What would you do?
The mortgage company said I get complimentary credit reviewing for two years… but did not mentinon my sister who was the co-signer… and she is worried about her information as well.
Both great answers- I’ll let Yahoo people vote on this one. Thank you!

You could demand that the mortgage company pay for a credit-monitoring service – that would be my first response.
You could also place a freeze on your credit record at all three bureaus. Its inconvenient and they charge a fee, but it prevents any new credit from being opened unless you verify the request first.

Call the 3 credit reporting agencies and put a fraud alert on your account (your sister can do the same). This is free and it is critical that you do this as soon as possible. You may also consider getting new credit cards in the event that information was on your application. Monitor your credit cards very closely and your bank account, too. This is a recipe for disaster and you must be proactive as it is very hard to resolve problems after they occur.
