I had called them today about removing a extended fraud alert from my report. got the 24-48 reply how long did it really take

 

Just out of curiosity, how does a fraud alert get on one's credit report if you haven't placed it there yourself?

 

Once there is a fraud alert, what are the disadvantages aside from losing out on instant approvals (I suppose)?

Split off to form a new thread within General Credit Topics titled "Question about removing EQ fraud alert".

 

I'm also locking this ancient thread.
