Answer 1

Answer

Order a credit report.

Explanation

It is imperative that once identity theft has occurred and the company has been brought into confidence by informing them of the incident that took place, ordering a credit report will allow the person to assess the credit activities that might have take place after his or her identity theft. This later helps in various procedures along with informing the authorities about the event.
