What is a fraud alert and how does AllClear ID set it up?

A fraud alert is a security measure that helps protect against identity theft. It is a notice filed with credit reporting agencies to request that they take additional steps to verify a person's identity before extending credit in their name. AllClear ID sets up a fraud alert by initially notifying one of the credit reporting agencies on behalf of the individual. This agency will then notify the other two major credit reporting agencies. AllClear ID also provides comprehensive fraud alert support, which includes monitoring and alerting the individual about any suspicious activity related to their personal information. Additionally, AllClear ID assists with the necessary paperwork and documentation required to set up the fraud alert. By alerting the credit reporting agencies, AllClear ID helps individuals minimize the risk of fraudulent activity or unauthorized use of their personal details.
