Sure, they could steal your identity with the info on your credit report. Your best bet now is to order your free credit reports from the credit reporting agencies. Each agency will give you a free report once a year. There are 3 main agencies, so spread out your request during the year.

There%26#039;s a 99.999% chance that your report is sitting in a garbage dump right now and is covered by 10 feet of other trash above it. Relax...but order your reports anyway.

I would contact the credit agencies and have a fraud alert put on.They will do this for free and if anyone tries to open any line of credit you will be notified.

Your credit report is all of your important info in one spot. Most credit reports show the last four digits of any numbers (SSN, CC%26#039;s), so you should be ok, but you never now. You can call the bureaus and put a fraud alert if you are really worried, but I think you%26#039;ll probably be ok.
