I was part of the Ticket Master data breech in July. I started getting emails and snail mail requests from no less than 11 credit card companies asking for additional information to process my application. They all required my SS# before considering my app.
The first thing I did was contact one of the credit reporting agencies and put a fraud alert on my account. They contact the other credit agencies and put a freeze on my report for one year.
I've still spent countless hours getting past electronic representatives and speaking with humans canceling credit applications. It's only been two months but so far, my FICO score is where it should be.
Two years ago we had a layover in Miami coming home from the Caribbean. We had dinner, boarded our flight and in the five hours it took to get home, someone had tried to charge $1,750 at four different vendors on my Discover card. I got the email from Discover when we landed.
There are some real shitty people out there folks.
