A security freeze on your consumer credit report is one of the most vital steps you can take toward protecting yourself from identity theft. Previously, the cost was $10 per credit bureau for every freeze/unfreeze. The Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act states that beginning September 21, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion must each set up a webpage for requesting fraud alerts and credit freezes at no cost (those pages are available now); Innovis and NCTUE have also provided free security freeze sites.
Equifax: https://www.freeze.equifax.com
Experian: https://www.experian.com/freeze/center.html
TransUnion: https://service.transunion.com/dss/orderStep1_form.page
Innovis: https://www.innovis.com/personal/securityFreeze
NCTUE: https://www.nctue.com/Consumers
I previously discussed the importance of a Credit Freeze for Privacy and Security in February 2018.
