Putting Fraud Alerts and Victim of Fraud Statement on Credit File

Just called Equifax yesterday to update fraud alert on my file. Fraud Alerts are easy to put on your file as you just need to contact any of the three credit agencies. Once you do that, that credit agency will also notify the other two credit agencies to put fraud alert. And the best thing is it can be done over the phone in most cases. The Web site and phone addresses of each of the three credit agencies are as follows:

Equifax Phone: 800-685-1111
TransUnion Phone: 800-680-7289
Experian Phone: 800-311-4769

For the extended Fraud Alert, each credit agency requires you to mail in the request with info about your current address, SSN, and so forth. The exact info and the mailing address for sending the request can be found on their Web site.
