What is a Fraud Alert? A fraud alert is a way to alert the
credit bureaus that you have had a case of
identity theft. If you want to open new credit after the
fraud alert has been implemented, you will be called by the
credit bureaus to make sure that it is valid. It makes it tough for a thief to open a new
credit account because you will get called first before they can do anything. If you suspect that an
identity thief has gotten a hold of your information you need only call one of the
three credit bureaus to activate it across all three credit repositories.
Call the credit bureaus to active a fraud alert on your credit report The Equifax fraud line is 1-800-525-6285
The Experian fraud line is 1-800-397-3724
The Transunion fraud line is 1-800-680-7289
Remember that you only need to call one.
