Followup all calls in writing; deliver your letter by certified mail, and request a return receipt, so you can record what the business received and when; and keep copies for the records.
  
  Place a fraud alert on your own credit reports and review your credit reports. Contact anyone of the nationwide consumer reporting companies to put a fraud alert on your credit file.
