 TITLE: How Do Fraud Alerts Affect Credit? CONTENT: How to Remove a Fraud Alert\n---------------------------\nIf you place a fraud alert on your credit report and then decide for any reason that you no longer need it, you can remove it easily at the Experian Fraud Alert Center.\nWhile placing a fraud alert at any of the three national credit bureaus automatically initiates alerts at all three, canceling alerts must be done with each bureau individually. The process to remove an alert is quick, but just a little more complicated than adding an alert.\nFraud alerts can be an important tool in combating identity theft. They are easy to activate, and nearly as easy to deactivate. If you're in doubt about the safety of your personal data, or you know you've been a victim of credit fraud, taking advantage of fraud alerts can spare you considerable additional trouble. END
