  • Know your payment rights (under federal law, you are not responsible for more than $50 if someone uses your credit card without authorization).
  • Place a fraud alert with the credit reporting companies.
  • If you haven’t been checking your credit report on a regular basis, find out how you can obtain a free copy. Keep checking your credit report regularly to identify additional changes.
