It's active for 90 days once you put it on your credit record. I activated that last month, after I was told that I may be a victim of identity fraud due to a massive breach at some company. I wanted to apply for the Uber Visa credit card, but didn't want to deal with "Fraud Alert" stuff... but figured "what the hell; why not", so applied for it. I was instantly approved. ...........so much for freakin' Fraud Alert. /eyeroll <cite>IdiotMachine posted [p:892594537] in So much fo...

They're supposed to verify that it's me, by calling me, sending me a mail, asking for additional documents, etc. <cite>IdiotMachine posted [p:892594669] in So much fo...
