How Do You Remove A Fraud Alert From Equifax?
If you have a fraud alert on your credit report, it can serve a valuable purpose. Whenever someone tries to apply for credit using your personal information such as a credit card or automobile loan, the creditor must notify you with a phone call before the account can be opened. You get the opportunity to speak with the creditor and verify if the account should or should not be opened. This keeps criminals and identity thieves from ruining your credit history. Contact Equifax fraud department in writing. Your letter should contain all of your personal information such as name, Social Security Number, present address and previous address, telephone number and your date of birth. Forward your information to the Equifax Credit reporting agency fraud division at the following address: Equifax Consumer Fraud Division P.O. Box 740241 Atlanta, GA 30374-0241 Sending this letter certified will allow you to keep tabs on it since it has all of your personal information enclosed. Call Equifax in s
