Got a letter for Countrywide Home Loans stating that my name, SS#, loan info, etc. were illegally sold to a 3rd party by an (ex)employee.
Basically, they gave me a 2-year membership to a credit reporting bureau and I am supposed to monitor my credit for the next 24 months for identify theft, new accounts, illegal transactions online and on my credit card statements, etc.
WTF!!!!!
I am p!ssed!
This theft is in the newspaper today. A few people filed suit already, and they are attempting to reclassify the suit into a 'class action suit.'
Should I be concerned that my SS# (plus other confidential information) is floating around out there in digital form?
Anyone else?
