Credit Bureau Contact Information Page
You should also contact the three major credit reporting bureaus to report the fraud and request a free credit report. Everyone is entitled to receive one free credit report per year. When you call the below phone numbers you will reach an automated answering system. Be patient, stay on the line, and request your free credit report.
y also want to have one of the credit reporting agencies
place a "Fraud Alert" on your credit report. The ial alert will
remain on your credit report for 90 days and will let creditors know
to contact you before pening any new accounts in your name. A fraud
alert on your credit report does not affect your ability to get a
loan or credit. It only alerts a business that your personal
information may have been compromised and requires them to verify
your identity before issuing any new credit in your name. If you
contact one of the agencies listed below, the other two should be
notified automatically.
