I just called. If you're on active duty, or stationed away from home they will put a short term 90 day watch on your credit report. If you're not you can request they put a long term 7 year watch on your account, but you have to do so in writing. Seems to be all free. > -----Original Message----- > From: Adkins, Randy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 10:40 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: Veterans Identity Theft > > Out of curiosity, is EquiFax offering that as a free service to > Veterans? > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Russel Madere [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 10:33 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: Veterans Identity Theft > > This past weekend the there was a theft of identifying data on over 26 > million veterans.
