Identity Fraud Website

www.mycreditfile.com.au has a range of information on how to look after your credit file (ie your creditworthiness etc), but especially how to protect yourself from Identity fraud.

Facts: identity fraud is the now fastest-growing white-collar in the world, and last year identity fraud in Australia cost in excess of $2 billion (Australian Institute of Criminology).

Most people are familiar with the concept of credit card fraud, but many aren’t aware that there is an increasing incidence of people actually taking on your identity.

How it happens: Typically the thief obtains someone’s identity details through lost or stolen wallets, credit cards, drivers licences or stolen mail and uses these to obtain credit for themselves (ie applies for a credit card, personal loan, home loan or mobile phone) leaving the victim with the potential liability for the debt and difficulties in obtaining future credit.

A person's credit history and reputation is an important asset: one that now can be monitored and protected.

The website also allows you to obtain a copy of or monitor your credit file for $39.95 incl GST.

Taking action after a crime has been committed is difficult, costly and often impractical. Personal reputations are often very hard to repair and offenders are often impossible to find.

The site also covers what to do if you are the victim of identity fraud.
