<LI><SPAN style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Keep a list of all your credit accounts and bank accounts in a secure place so you can quickly call the issuers to inform them about missing or stolen cards. Include account numbers, expiration dates and telephone numbers of customer service and fraud departments.</SPAN></SPAN></LI>
<LI><SPAN style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Do not toss pre-approved credit offers in your trash or recycling bin without first tearing them into small pieces or shredding them. Dumpster divers can use these offers to order credit cards in your name and mail them to their address. Always do the same with other sensitive information like credit card receipts and phone bills.</SPAN></SPAN></LI>
<LI><SPAN style="COLOR: rgb(102,102,102)"><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Avoid credit repair scams. If you are tempted to contact a credit repair company for help, use considerable caution. The FTC and a number of state attorney generals have sued credit repair companies for false promises to remove bad information from credit reports. Only inaccurate information may be removed from your credit report; negative information that is accurate (such as a bankruptcy filing or a defaulted loan) will stay on your credit report as long as governing laws allow.</SPAN></SPAN></LI></UL>
