Three nationwide credit bureaus keep records of your credit history. If someone has misused your personal information or even if you're concerned about identity theft but haven't yet become a victim, you can place a fraud alert.
Contact the national credit bureaus to request fraud alerts, credit freezes (also known as security freezes), and opt outs from pre‑screened credit offers.
