Yes, it could cause problems I think. They have to jump thru an extra hoop to do a credit check. I put a fraud alert on after I lost my driver's license in an office depot (left it on the xerox machine when making a copy of it). I think you just call one of the agencies.

You just call the agencies and it's all done via an automatic menu. The phone numbers are available online. IIRC the names are equifax, experian, and I can't remember the 3rd (Transunion?).

I did it when my wallet was stolen. Basically, anytime somebody tries to take out a loan using your name the institution offering the loan has to call you at your home phone to make sure it is really you. Well worth doing imo.

  • Equifax 1-800-685-1111
  • TransUnion - 800-916-8800
  • Experian - 888-397-3742
