Should I be freaking out as much as I am now? Lost my social security card...?

Question

I KNOW I shouldn't have been carrying my social security card in my wallet, but I did because I was applying for a job. I lost my wallet and called every single place I was at, seeing if they found it, but no luck...I am freaking out because I have EVERYTHING in my wallet. My license, my credit card, my social security card, and a bunch of other various id's that can easily be replaced. I am so worried that I am very vulnerable to identity theft, that is the LAST thing I need in my life right now. Today I got a new driver license and canceled my credit card, but am still really insecure about this whole situation. I was wondering if anyone has been in this situation and what are the best steps to take

Answer 1

First calm down. Did you call where you applied for the job? You can put the account on fraud alert through Trans Union Fraud Dept. Their toll free # 1-800-680-7289. They will notify the other 2 bureaus for you. I has to be renewed every 90 days to keep it active. Social Security has a fraud dept. Their toll free # 1-800-269-0271.
