The Benefits of Residential Shredding

When it comes down to it, the only person who truly cares about protecting your identity is you. No one else can or will take the precautions necessary to prevent you from identity theft, so you must make sure you are taking the necessary precautions on your own. If your identity was stolen right now, you’d need to address several issues, including:

• Canceling all of your credit and debit cards.
• Calling the police to fill out a report to track down the criminal.
• Checking through all of your transactions to see just how much damage has been done to your accounts.
• Ensuring your safety to make sure that the thief didn’t get too much of your personal information to put you at risk.
• Making sure that your credit hasn’t been affected.

Most Dallas households have plenty of security measures in place to protect their families and their large investments, but often forget to make the same effort to keep their identity safe. If you are disposing of documents with private information at your home, they are at risk of being stolen and used against you.
