I wish my files were organized. Currently my husband uses a few show boxes, and I have my important things in a rubbermaid container or in a basket on my desk

I have a small file holder to keep important papers. I shead papers at my sisters.

I use multiple passwords online and store them in a safe place.

I have a filing cabinet and I labelled different kind of statements in each of their own separate folder. When I need to dispose of any kind of statements, I always make sure that I cut out my own personal information first (like, name address, account no. etc.) before I recycle the statements, and then I use scissors to cut the personal information part into pieces, then I throw part of it in recyle and part of it in garbage.

I have a filing cabinet, but sometimes I forget to use it, I'm not very good at organizing, and I should be because I hate searching when I need to look something up or need a file

I use a portable filing cabinet container with labelled folders in it.

I need to pick up another file holder from Wal-Mart...the accordion type with buckle. I have been using cardboard magazine holders and that isn't working for me at all. I shred everything...my shredder broke a few months ago and I haven't replaced it yet...I keep all papers to be shredded in a bag....and take it to be shredded on a month to month basis although I don't suppose that is such a good idea. It is so easy today to give out too much information.

I wish I had a tip for organized files but that is one thing I am not good at, my files are disorganized chaos. I do try to prevent identity fraud by shredding my documents, mind you my shredder right now only does about 10 pages and then you have to give it a break so it would be great to win a new one!

Prevent fraud by ripping or shredding any unused documents, and keep your important documents lock away.

I have a big pile in my room, generally I burn them when summer comes and we make a bonfire but it's really not the best way, they're not safe!

we have a safe where we keep alot of our documents, life ins, mortgage, copies of credit cards, and other information. I also will tear up in strips pieces of other items that need destroying. a shredder would be so much easier

I organize by year. I keep every year in its own box. and the papers that I do not want I give to my grandson, he has down syndrome and has a compulsion to shred. however this shredding has lead him to a small amount of money, he cashes in large bags of shredded paper to a man who buys each bag shredded from him for his fireplace.

Great subject as fraudsters seem to get smarter & smarter. If it happens to you report it! Don't be embarrassed it happens to a lot of people.

I'm terrible at keeping things organised. There are piles of papers everywhere in the apartment, and come tax time, I have to go through EVERYTHING just ot find what we need. We're moving and finally getting some office space, so I'm going to get myself a filing cabinet. A shredder would come in pretty handy! ;)

I use a filing cabnet

I use a big brown envelope lol. Best fraud prevention tip I have is to keep your important documents/i.d that you don't need on a day to day basis, locked in a fireproof safe. Don't store I.D etc in a vehicle or unattended wallet or purse.

labelled files thanks

I have a file folder for papers and a magnetic sleeve on the fridge where I put any of the tax receipts from door to door canviser in my neighbourhood

fraud prevention tip: don't use same password for a number of sites, and also keep changing them

I'm not organized at all :( I can't give any tips. I know what I have to do but I just don't do them. Every so often I do my office clean up and find all kinds of things. I rip up the document before throwing them out.

I color code by categories that make sense to me :)

Right now I have probably 100 different file folders in my filing cabinet organizing all our business information. My best tip for fraud prevention is to always have an excellent internet protection software on your computer, do not cheap out and get a free download for your internet protection, as I found out the hard way! Free will not protect your information! I had my credit card info stolen 3 times last year! I know better now!

I do not do all that much really. I have folders for all of my documents in my desk drawer that helps me keep my stuff organized

I never throw anything away. If I do, I tear it in little pieces, or burn it. A shredder would really come in handy.

I have folders and a filing cabinet

I keep my files in a small file cabinet in my basement, but I wouldn't say it was organized.

I have shoe boxes. Yes, that's right. One for every year. They stack to nicely in the cupboard and I can see the years at a glance.

I have several file folders

I keep them in a labelled box

I have a hold at the credit bureau, that ensures that no credit cards can be issued without a secondary check by me.

We are in desperate need of a shredder that does more than 1/2 piece of paper. In the meantime, we cut up all our cards and put them in different weeks garbage runs.

My husband works from home so we really need a good shredder!

Files in a desk filing cabinet. Drives me nuts, because I've never had to go back! As the years progress, the old gets bumped out and I burn what I can in the fireplace.

I try to file at least once a week to stay on top of things. Doesn't always happen. :-) My tip for fraud prevention -> don't give out personal information to people you don't know, such as your middle name.
