Post subject: Identity stolen
As of July 31st I found out that my SS# and other ID info has been stolen. In the month of June, someone has begun to open up at least four in-store credit accnts in my name. The listing on my credit report I cant figure out is GRDN/CBUSA. Any ideas or how I can find out? I would also greatly appreciate guidance in how to preserve my good (for now) credit now that someone is using it in at least four separate acts of fraud. I have already contacted the three national credit bureaus and instituted a fraud alert. Thanks much for your help.

You need to contact the Internet Fraud Center, a branch of the FBI. I don't have the web address handy but it's easy to find. There's an online complaint form for ID theft victims. Others to contact would include the FTC and law enforcement. A fraud alert on the Credit Report will not stop new lines of credit from being opened. It's really cosmetic. You should also pressure the creditors for copies of the forged credit applications. Law enforcement will need these to track them down.

I just got my credit report and ALSO have GRDN/CBUSA listed on there as well. I too have no idea who they are or how to contact them. Does anyone have a an 800 number to contact this credit card company? Apparently they have extended a large amount of credit to me, but I don't even know who they are!! Arrrghhhhh!
Thanks,
Amber

CBUSA stands for Citibank USA. I have a Home Depot credit card which isssued by Citibank. On the paper credit report, it lists as HOME DEPOT/MBGA; however, on Experian website, it lists as CBUSA.

Thanks HJM, I thought the CB bit had something to do with Canada so I went off on a few goat trails up north. Any idea what the GRDN stands for? I guess this might be an abbrievation for a speciality Citibank card but it brings up nothing on the telemetry. Just some grizzlies, wearing Chase collars. Since more than one person has this GRDN charge, I consider it a serious threat and will now turn on my porch light. This is what I do at DEFCON 3. But seriously, if Citibank is connected to this, they probably arent' the problem but GRDN might be. Gotta get back to the trail. BAAAH!

The easiest way to contact an unknown company that appears on your credit report is to simply ask the credit reporting agency for additional information. They'll give you name address and phone number.
Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Also a completed ID Theft Affidavit and filing police report - obtaining copies and forwarding to all of the creditors affected. Do the investigation asking the creditors anything they know in connection with the application which was filed, also contact the social security administration and make them aware of the problem. In given cases they can re-issue you a new social security number. Wonder how this one turned out,

For those who have a GRDN/CBUSA listed on the credit report, and don't know what it is, it's a Gordon's jewlery credit card issued by Citizens Bank.

I was just wondering if somebody could help. It seems as though somebody keeps hacking into my password and harrassing other people online using my name. Is this a virus and can anybody help?

Any agreement that can be changed at any time, for any reason, is no agreement at all.

Verne, There's a bunch of sub-teens who are fooling around on this board without their mommie's permission. Just ignore them & they'll get bored and move on in a few weeks. Happens all the time.

Hey Ira, Thanks for the "surf's up" on the sub-teens crowding our beach. Meanwhile, I need a beach so bad I'm reconfiguring my backyard. Sure the geese don't like it, but my therapist said I need to quit empowering the geese.
