Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: Equifax XXXX. XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX. XXXX, GA XXXX Dear sir, I have received a postcard which noticed me that fraud alert was removed. Since I believe myself, I need to have the fraud alert and officially sent the document to ask the extended XXXX fraud alert, I logged on the website and checked that initial fraud alert is on. Even though there is a question why I need to send my identification several times for the extension, I will enclose again the necessary documents ; even though I slightly feel the concern whether it is safe to send the documents of identification several times to keep the identity. I express strong concern on this matter since I have several postal issues, which waiting the answer. I also received a package of documents prepared on XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX. Along with other credit report companies, I received the same documents with different dates often. I have a question why the mailing delivery took so long time, since I received one month later even though it is internal delivery. If it happens with international delivery, I can understand since I have noticed it takes longer due to several international matters. Since still extended XXXX XXXX alert is not on, I will not start to check the credit report of your company, which can be checked by internet ; even though sometimes I feel strong suspicion whether these online information or data is reliable. Sincerely,
