Can I submit a request that my credit report be flagged
even though I do not currently have a problem with identity theft or a
stolen credit card?

I am aware that a "fraud alert" can be sent to the three credit
bureaus after a credit card has been stolen or in a case of "identity
theft".

As I understand the credit bureaus policy, once an account is flagged,
I will be contacted before informaion can be released.

I would like to take advantage of this
extra layer of protection that the credit bureaus provide if at all possible.

Thank you,

Cliff Crittenden

No. Just call them and they will explain.
