These fraud alerts have no impact on your credit score and do not prevent you from applying for a loan, a credit card or a new job, but they make it much more difficult for someone else to do so using your identity because these fraud alerts instruct lenders and other to contact you directly before they open new accounts in your name. They allow you to Control Your ID.
