Ice, I found your good comments about cc/bank cards and want to repost for everyone's benefit...thanks For your existing CC and bank cards make sure your password/authorization is totally unrelated to you. Then no one can accuse you of doing something stupid like using an obvious number. And change your Mother's maiden name to something that isn't a person's name. Then call the three credit agencies and tell them to flag your account with the notice that any new credit grantor should contact you personally to verify that the request is legit. This is the most important thing in my mind. Your existing accounts can be breached, however, you will find out soon enough and the bank or card companies will cover you. It's the crap that you don't know about - like finding out I have a bogus telephone under my name since July '98, that you should really worry about. The troublesome unresolved issue is brokerage accounts. If someone came in and drained your bank saving account, the bank would help you and make you whole. I don't think the brokers would without a lawsuit. -nfg-
