Is it true that everyone is entitled to a free copy of their own personal public records?
We at the PRC wish you a happy, prosperous and private new year. For 2007, resolve to do what you can to guard against identity theft and stop unwanted intrusions via your mailbox, telephone, or fax machine. When it comes to privacy, there are no guarantees. But the following resolutions are a good way to start off the new year. Check your credit reports. You are entitled to a free report from all three national credit bureaus once every 12 months. If you ordered your reports in 2006, mark your calendar for the appropriate month in 2007. For more information, see the Federal Trade Commission’s Facts for Consumers at www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/credit/freereports.htm. Review credit card and bank account statements frequently. Online access to your accounts means you don’t have to wait for the statements to come in the mail. If you do access your accounts online, be sure to use your home computer rat
