How do I find out if bank accounts have been opened in my name?

I have reason to believe that a bank account may have been opened in my name. Will all accounts in my name show up on my credit report? How do I find out if this has happened?

check out your credit report and it should tell you what is on the report

  2. Your credit report will show who has made inquiries into your credit, and frequently banks will do so before they open accounts. But they will not tell you what bank you have an account with.

  3. If your worried about identity theft, sign up for Life Lock. http://www.lifelock.com
    You get a free credit report after signing up and a million dollar protection if someone does steel your identity. Check your credit report for any inquires that you find suspicious. If you buy something from an office store, often there is a 15% off on the back of the reciept. Other wise, it cost about $10.00 a month to keep the enrollment and plus there is a fraud alert put on your credit. If anyone trys to use it, your contacted immediatly before anything is put through. You can't beat it and you have less to worry about.
