SO I dont know what this fraud alert is. Further I was not noified by Experian or PremierCredit Expert only FICO. &nbsp;Any tips/advice? &nbsp;</P><P>Should I call Experian? &nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>***Update*** Called Experian and they advised the score drop is due to two inquiries. One from Citi should have been a SP so will need to dispute directly with Citi. &nbsp;The Fraud alert on all three bureus remains for 7 years so not sure why FICO would send a notification like this. Had me worried for nothing!!</P><P><IMG src="blob:http://ficoforums.myfico.com/76cd23e7-cba2-4f54-893e-50a48affd9ab" border="0" /></P> Wed, 28 Mar 2018 18:37:51 GMT WolfChild1 2018-03-28T18:37:51Z FICO Notification and Fraud Alert Added - Experian Drop **UPDATE** Score drop is due to 2 INQ https://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Understanding-FICO-Scoring/FICO-Notification-and-Fraud-Alert-Added-Experian-Drop-UPDATE/m-p/5205544#M137172 <P>Hi - I received a notification from FICO this morning saying a fraud alert was added to my file..dropped my score by 8 points! &nbsp;I did not add the fraud alert rather I had one placed on all three last May 2017.
