Various scams and cybersecurity attacks have been hitting banks hard in recent weeks. When a consumer falls victim to a scam, their credit score can also take a hit. ABC40′s Tom Lewis and Emily Volz spoke with Steve Weisman, an attorney and professor at Bentley University, about how to turn that credit score around.

Weisman offers the following 11 steps to take if you find out you’re a victim of identity theft:

1. Notify each of the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) of the identity theft and request that a credit freeze be put on your account so that no one can access your credit report without your authorization even if they have your Social Security number or other personal information. (Go to www.scamicide.com for directions as to how to accomplish this.)

2. Report the crime to the appropriate law enforcement authorities where you live and where the fraud occurred. Use the FTC’s ID Theft Affidavit, which can be found on the FTC’s website www.ftc.gov.

3. Inform all your creditors that you have become a victim of identity theft

4. Get new credit cards with new account numbers for all tainted accounts.

5. Set up complex passwords for each of your new accounts.

6. Change your PINs.

7. When you closed tainted accounts, make sure that the accounts are reported to the credit-reporting agencies as being closed at the customer’s request due to identity theft to avoid lowering of your credit score.

8. Ask your creditors to notify each of the credit-reporting agencies to remove erroneous and fraudulent information from your file.

9. Contact the creditors who have tainted accounts in your name and request that they initiate a fraud investigation. Get a copy of the completed investigation.

10. Send copies of those completed investigations to each of the credit-reporting agencies and request that erroneous and fraudulent information be removed from your files.

11. If fraudulent charges do appear on your credit report, notify the credit-reporting agencies in writing and tell them that you dispute the information and request that such information be removed from your files.

On Monday night, the family of Craig Swain will hold candles during a vigil in his honor as they hold on to hope that he will come home.

It has now been six years since a local family started the search for a missing son, husband, and father.

February 6th marked six years since his mysterious disappearance. The Tyrrell County Sheriff’s Office said deputies are still looking as well.

http://liarcatchers.com/missing_persons_investigations.html

Investigators in Tyrrell County said they have retraced the now 44-year-old man’s steps and determined Swain had been visiting an uncle off Jones White Road in the night he disappeared Washington County back in 2008.

From his uncle’s home, deputies tracked Swain to a store, then a party on Jones White Road.

Another party goer reported Swain hit a car and left. Investigators said the person who’s car Swain allegedly hit followed him, stopping him twice along the road.

Investigators said the gray area fades in once there was a call made to 911. Deputies started following the truck Swain reportedly had been driving, but deputies cannot say if Swain was still driving that truck when a chase started at 70 miles per hour.

With the police chase wrapping around curvy back roads in Washington and Tyrrell counties, it ended with a crash into a mailbox on Reek Road.

Whoever was driving that truck took off on foot, according to investigators.

Six years later, no word from the missing man.

On Monday, the family will hold a service to honor and remember Craig Swain at the Skinnersville Community Center on Highway 32 North in Roper. The service starts at 6:30 p.m.

Investigators said they have not closed this case and ask anyone with information to contact them at (252) 796-2251.

Back in December, the Richmond Register reported police charged Hamner with criminal mischief after he trashed the apartment of a relative he was staying with. According to the paper, Hamner tore holes in wall and even broke a toilet.
