Need help on fraud alert

I found out 3 days ago Equifax said "I" put a Fraud alert on my credit file. I contacted my advocate and she removed it. I received via mail a letter from Experian and TU that Equifax notified them and they also put a fraud alert on my report.

Will Equifax notify them that I disputed the fraud alert or do I have to contact Experian and TU also? WTH? Grrrr

A report of fraud to one bureau and subsequent FA will be sent to the other bureaus and you need to call each one to have them removed. You can also write in requesting it be done, if you do be sure to send copy of your ID and proof of your current address.
