I've lostt my SScard. what shell i do now?

Question

A thief stole my SScard, while i was on vacation in Spain. I;m desperate n i dont know how 2 protect myself from ID theft n from someone opening credit cards under my name n SSN. HELP.

Answer 1

Report it to your local SS agency at once. They will issue another card. Get a credit report and monitor your credit very closely for the next couple of years. There are also agencies that specialize in identity theft. Don't wait act now!!!

Answer 2

You need to report it ASAP. My cited source has instructions direct from SSA.

They don't do anything to protect your identity. You will have to monitor your credit reports. Pull them for free at Annualcreditreport.com.
