Learn what to do if a blocked payday loan application wasn't initiated by you

If you haven't applied for a short-term loan like a payday loan, high-cost installment loan, and rent-to-own loan but received a blocked payday loan notification, then it can be a fraudulent application that was blocked since you have your Payday Loan Lock set up.

You can help protect yourself by requesting your annual consumer reports and requesting security freezes with the below agencies.
