Lost Credit Card

What to do if you suspect credit card fraud.

• Contact your financial institution or credit card company to cancel your card and request a new one.
• Check with your issuer to verify that your mailing address has not been changed.
• Review your transactions regularly. Make sure no one misused your card.
• If you still have your card but fraudulent purchases have been made, call your issuer to report the fraud and get the fraudulent charges removed.
• Contact the credit bureaus to let them know that fraud has occurred. A "Fraud Alert" message will be placed on your file.
• If you have automatic payments set up, update them with your new card number.
• Request a copy of your credit report and review it carefully. Check your credit report at annualcreditreport.com.

Payment Processors: You can also contact payment processors who will work with you in communicating with your financial institution or national card issuer.
