I’ve heard that identity theives even steal teen’s identities making their credit bad without them realizing. I am a concered teen worried if my credit score is bad and/or somebody has stolen my identity. I’ve been to several credit report websites and am unable to find one that allows people under 18. Do you know of a website to solve either of my questions?

I contacted the companies to ensure that the accounts were closed.
I filed a police report.
I filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.

My school sent me a letter stating that my social security # and other information was compromised resulting from a stolen computer. I have called on of the top 3 credit companies and issued an initial alert. What other things should i do to prevent myself from being vulnerable to identity theft?
