Two years ago, I lost my wallet. Someone tried to open a wireless phone account in my name. Since then (and also because I've been working on building my credit, I've had credit monitoring. Everything has been fine until this and last month when I've gotten alerted to two unauthorized inquiries on my credit. Two for auto loans and one for resident screening. I've initiated a fraud alert on my credit and sent letters to the companies making the inquires via certified mail. At this point, would it be best/beneficial to just have my social changed? I am worried that this will cause issues with taxes, updating the # (with my apt complex, banks, auto loan, jobs, etc...), and may affect the progress I've made building my credit. Any advice?
