What should I do if my wallet is lost or stolen?

If your wallet has been lost or stolen, take the following actions:

  • Call the three major credit reporting agencies (Equifax: 1-800-525-6285, Experian: 1-888-397-3742 and Trans Union: 1-800-680-7289) and ask them to immediately place a Fraud Alert on your name and Social Security number. The alert means any company that checks your credit knows your information was stolen and they have to contact you by phone to authorize new credit.
  • Notify the SSN national fraud hotline at 1-800-269-0271.
  • Cancel your credit cards.
  • File a police report the same day, if at all possible, in the jurisdiction where your wallet was stolen.

 

For any accounts specific to TN Members 1st FCU:

  • Contact the credit union and a Member Service Representative will be happy to assist you with options that best fit your situation. Sometimes, we can simply get you a new card, other times, it's best to close the compromised account and open a new account. As of February 2024, both of our branch locations are equipped to print contactless cards available to members in a matter of minutes. 
  • Log in to your digital banking and click ‘Support’ on the left-hand navigation menu for customer service and fraud support phone numbers. If you don’t have digital banking, please contact the credit union.
