Reporting Fraud

Unfortunately even the most careful precautions are not fool proof. If you believe you're already a victim of identity theft, follow these easy steps to report the crime.

  1. Contact Columbia Credit Union immediately. Our Member Service Center is available from Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 360.891.4000 or via online chat. We can help you:

    • Complete the paperwork necessary to report the fraud
    • Investigate the incident
    • Place various holds and flags on your account to help deter future attempts
    • Close your account
  2. Contact the fraud departments at each of the three major credit bureaus to request a "Fraud Alert" on your file and order FREE copies of your credit report.
  3. Contact the security departments at the financial institution where you hold accounts or loans that have experienced fraudulent activity.
  4. File a report with your local police. Contact information is listed below.
  5. Complete an Identity Theft Affidavit, so you don't become responsible for debts incurred by the identity thief.
  6. File a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission.
