What is a security alert, and how can it help prevent further fraudulent activity?
• A security alert is a special message that you can request if you have reason to believe that information on your credit report may be inaccurate due to fraud. It displays on the credit report and asks potential creditors who view your report to verify the identification information used by an applicant before granting credit in the consumer’s name.
