If you have received an alert you should first check if the alert received is in relation to a credit application that you may have recently submitted or if it relates to an existing facility in your name. If it isn’t, it could be that someone else is trying to apply for credit using your identity details. In this case you should inform the credit provider immediately.
For other alerts you may wish to get an updated copy of your credit report to check the details.

The information held on your Equifax credit report is provided to Equifax by credit providers, like banks, phone and utility companies as part of an application process for consumer or commercial credit or as part of their ongoing management of your account. In addition to this, Equifax obtains writs and judgement information from third parties like the courts, personal insolvency information from AFSA and directorship information from ASIC.
Your credit report contains a summary, which is a good place to start. Here you will see a total of credit enquiries, any accounts you have, overdue accounts and details of commercial credit you may have. You can then review this information in more detail. If you find something that is inaccurate you can have it investigated. You can either contact the credit provider the information relates to using a handy list of creditor contacts or contact Equifax using our corrections process.
