What should I do if someone has stolen my identity to get new credit?

Call the Police Department and make an identity theft report. In Minnesota, Identity Theft becomes a crime only when any victim (person or business) suffers a monetary loss. Also call the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Identity Theft Hotline at 1-877-438-4338 to notify them and get advice on how to proceed.

  • To report fraud other than identity theft to the FTC, call 1-877-382-4357.
