Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

You should contact all three credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) to place a fraud alert on your credit report and request a copy of your credit report. You should also contact every financial institution and credit card issuer to alert them of the potential fraud and take steps to protect your accounts. Contacting only two or four wouldn't cover all reporting agencies and financial institutions. Contacting five may be unnecessary and could cause confusion.
