Credit Bureau Fraud Alerts
If you think you may be a victim of fraud or identity theft, you can place a free fraud alert with any of the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion). A fraud alert tells lenders to take extra steps to verify your identity before opening new credit in your name. When you place an alert with one bureau, they’re required to notify the other two.
An initial alert lasts 1 year and can be renewed. Victims of identity theft who file a report at IdentityTheft.gov can request a seven‑year extended fraud alert.
For even stronger protection, consider a credit freeze. Learn how it works in our guide. Everyone is also eligible for a free, annual credit report from each bureau to help you monitor your information.
