ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Under U.S. law, a consumer is entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus (“CRAs”), Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. To order a free credit report, visit www.annualcreditreport.com or call, toll-free, 1-877-322-8228. Consumers may also directly contact the CRAs listed below to request a free copy of their credit report.

Consumers can place a free fraud alert on their credit file. An initial alert lasts one year, requiring businesses to verify identity before granting credit. Identity theft victims qualify for a seven-year extended alert. Contact the CRAs to set up a fraud alert.

Alternatively, consumers can request a free credit freeze, blocking access to their credit report without authorization. This prevents unauthorized accounts but may delay approval for future credit applications. Federal law prohibits fees for placing or lifting a freeze. To initiate, individuals may need to provide some or all the following information full name (including middle initial as well as Jr., Sr., II, III, etc.); Social Security number; date of birth; addresses for the prior two to five years; proof of current address, such as a current utility bill or telephone bill; a legible photocopy of a government-issued identification card (state driver’s license or ID card, etc.); and a copy of either the police report, investigative report, or complaint to a law enforcement agency concerning identity theft if they are a victim of identity theft.
