Before moving forward, it's a good idea to distinguish between what a fraud alert and a credit freeze are. A fraud alert is set for 90 days and asked the 3 major credit bureaus to verify your identity using "reasonable policies and procedures" before opening an account in your name. Typically, this means they will call you to confirm. A credit freeze completely prevents new creditors from being able to access your credit report for any reason.
