    George, if appropriate, please post to the list. Thanks, - Daina
    
    I heard this on the grapevine:
    
    The nation's three credit reporting companies -- Equifax, Experian and
    TransUnion -- have set up a system that will enable identity fraud
    victims
    to protect their credit information by making one toll-free call to any
    of
    them, the Consumer Data Industry Association said yesterday.  When an
    identity fraud victim calls any of the credit reporting companies, the
    company will alert the other two. Then each company will post a security
    alert on the victim's credit file; opt the victim out of preapproved
    credit
    or insurance offers; and mail the victim a copy of
    his or her credit file. The companies' toll-free numbers are: Equifax,
    1-800-525-6285; Experian, 1-888-397-3742; and TransUnion,
    1-800-680-7289.
