What should I do if there is a fraudulent claim on my credit report?
We're sorry to hear that you believe you are a victim of credit fraud. The first thing you'll want to do is contact one of the three nationwide credit reporting companies to file a fraud alert; these three companies are Equifax, Experian and/or TransUnion.
Once you contact one of the three credit reporting agencies you'll have several option to create an initial fraud alert, extended alert or a security freeze
