Put an alert on your account

Ask the three credit reporting agencies (Experian™, Transunion® and Equifax®) to place a fraud alert and security freeze on your file. A fraud alert notifies anyone pulling your credit file that you may be a victim of fraud.

 

A security freeze prevents credit loans and services from being opened in your name without your approval.
