Last week, 1 or more parties hacked my Equifax account, set up an account at TransUnion, and ran up charges on a cloned credit card in Brazil. To resolve this, I’ve interacted with…

I ran into a login error on Transunion, and the password recovery wizard wouldn’t accept my info. When I called, TU reported that my account had also been taken over by a Yahoo! em…

Thanks. This was very helpful. I had no idea it was even possible to get a new SSN. Mind if I ask: - Did you find any 3P services like AllClear ID compelling/useful? Sounds like Co…

Feel free to play with the annual mileage figures on the model. For my family's situation, I played around with it with mostly either 12K or 15K annual miles.
