What You Can Do.  Print EZ encourages customers to remain vigilant
against incidents of identity theft and fraud, to review account
statements, and to monitor credit reports for suspicious activity.
Under U.S. law individuals are entitled to one free credit report
annually from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus.  To
order a free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call,
toll-free, 1-877-322-8228.  Individuals may also contact the three
major credit bureaus directly to request a free copy of their credit
report.

Customers have the right to place a "security freeze" on their credit
report, which will prohibit a consumer reporting agency from releasing
information in a credit report without express authorization.  The
security freeze is designed to prevent credit, loans, and services
from being approved in a person's name without consent.  However,
customers should be aware that using a security freeze to take control
over who gets access to the personal and financial information in a
credit report may delay, interfere with, or prohibit the timely
approval of any subsequent request or application an individual makes
regarding a new loan, credit, mortgage, or any other account involving
the extension of credit.  Pursuant to federal law, an individual
cannot be charged to place or lift a security freeze on your credit
report.
