To report identity theft, immediately contact your local police station, inform them of all the details such as where the identity theft took place, when it started, what establishments are involved, etc. and file a complaint. Then, you can take matters into your own hands to prevent the thief from misusing your card more. You can do so by contacting the credit bureaus and requesting a fraud alert to be placed on your reports. A fraud alert will inform all banks and lenders you are involved with to ask for verification of your identity.
