How do I place a fraud alert on my credit file?
You may contact one of the major credit reporting companies for assistance. An initial 90-day security alert indicates to anyone requesting your credit file that you suspect you are a victim of fraud. When you or someone else attempts to open a credit account in your name, increase the credit limit on an existing account, or obtain a new card on an existing account, the lender should take steps to verify that you have authorized the request. If the creditor cannot verify this, the request should not be satisfied.

What is the difference between a ‘Fraud Alert’ and a ‘Security Freeze’?

This can make it more difficult for an unauthorized person to open new accounts or modify existing accounts in your name. More information about fraud alerts is available in the notice letter you received. A credit freeze is designed to prevent third parties from accessing a credit report without your consent. If you place a credit freeze, potential creditors will not be able to access your credit report unless you temporarily lift the freeze.
