What Should You Do?
If you received a notification letter from Swift Transportation, you should enroll in the Experian IdentityWorks service before the activation deadline printed on your letter, as your code will not work after that date. Whether or not you enroll, you should review your account statements and credit reports closely for any unauthorized activity. You can obtain free credit reports from all three major bureaus at AnnualCreditReport.com. Because Social Security numbers and driver’s license numbers were involved, you may also want to place a fraud alert or credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to make it harder for someone to open new accounts in your name. If you believe your information has been misused, visit IdentityTheft.gov for step-by-step guidance on reporting and recovering from identity theft.
