I received a Credit Alert. Now what?

Aura sends you credit alerts for any account changes, opening and closing of accounts, and other information reported from accounts that may be associated with your social security number.

  • Always read the alert from top to bottom.
  • Make sure to read the “What to do” section below the alert.
  • When creating an account, companies will validate personal information to verify a person’s identity.
  • When a profile with a company is created (especially those that use card transactions), the company will often will verify a person’s identity.
  • While many companies perform identity verification themselves, some may use a third-party, smaller company to perform the identity verification, such as Stripe Inc. and Insurance Phone Finder.
