One of the biggest fears people have is becoming a victim of identity theft.
San Antonio is actually one of the cities that the number of these crimes is actually rising, and that trend seems to continue.
But just as in the rest of the country, you do have some options to protecting yourself if you live in San Antonio.
There are dozens of companies that offer some form of protection, usually by monitoring your personal information to make sure there is no unusual activity.
You can also protect yourself by having complicated passwords, not using your personal information and online banking as much, and not using the same password for everything.
Regardless what your choice for protection from identity theft is, the fact is that the best method of protection is your plan to fix it if you do become a victim.
Even the companies that promise you satisfaction have a planned installed should their system not work for you.
the good news is that it is not difficult to recover your money.
If the bank has not already notified you of the news you can go to them and fill out the necessary paper work.
You will have the money returned and new cards and accounts back within weeks.
One thing however that does not usually get repair easily is your credit score and this is a shame, especially if you have taken the time to build it up.
When you are a victim of identity theft there are many charges made and several activities that lower your score.
The best and fastest way to fix it is to use credit repair.
The great thing about credit repair is that it works in weeks and can fix any score regardless of the reason it was damaged.
