The first thing to do is carefully read your notice from Access Residential Management. It should offer details about what happened and any services they are providing. Next, it's wise to place a fraud alert on your credit files with the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion).

For the next year or two, make a habit of regularly checking all your bank accounts, credit card statements, and other financial records for unusual transactions. Consider changing passwords for online accounts, especially those linked to your email address or that use similar login details. Be wary of unexpected emails, texts, or calls asking for personal information, as these could be phishing attempts.

Did Access Residential Management offer free credit monitoring?
Check your letter from Access Residential Management. If free credit or identity monitoring is offered, the enrollment code and deadline are printed in the notice itself.
