How can I protect myself from identity theft?

Check your ClearScore report regularly for anything unusual or suspicious.

If you find any incorrect information on your credit report, you'll need to raise this as a dispute with Experian so that they can look into your case.

You can give Experian a call on 0117993403

Alternatively, you can send them an email at query.za@clearscore.co.za

You can also ask the South African Fraud Prevention Services (www.safps.org.za) to place a Protective Registration on your report. This service alerts most lenders to the fraud, so they’ll take extra care when dealing with credit applications in your name
