- Assist with the placement of fraud alerts with the three major credit bureaus

Identity theft is consistently the number one complaint to the Federal Trade Commission. Rampant data breaches, affecting millions of records, are putting consumers at great risk of identity theft. It can happen to anyone—regardless of your age and income, where you live, or how careful you are.
Restoring your identity on your own can be time-consuming and stressful. After a while, some people give up, leaving them contend with the aftermath of identity theft for years to come, including fraudulent bills, collections activity, damaged credit and even criminal records.
TDECU is delighted to provide Identity Theft Recovery Services as an added benefit to all High-Yield Checking Account and Forward Checking Account Members at no cost.
