Protect Yourself from Identity Theft
Register for a Credit Freeze
A credit freeze or security freeze keeps sensitive data in your credit file from being accessed without your permission. Credit freezes are a free easy way to prevent fraud, because scammers will not be able to take out any lines of credit while your credit is frozen. To freeze and unfreeze your credit you need to contact the 3 major credit bureaus: Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian.
