Fight Identity Theft
Putting a fraud alert on you credit file is one of the first things you should do if you suspect someone is trying to open credit accounts in your name. It might be something you want to do, even if you don’t think identity theft is an immediate threat.

Fraud alerts are not a cure-all, however. A fraud alert can be ignored by creditors. If you suspect you’re a victim of identity theft, or have already become a victim, fraud alerts are only a start in trying to protect your credit. You also need to pay close attention to your credit report and consider a credit freeze – an even stronger option than a fraud alert. It tightens access to your credit data even more by allowing you to freeze all access to your credit file.
