Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian all offer account freezing for free. Take advantage of it! It is a great way to prevent someone from wrecking your credit

    Have you froze it recently though? They bury the fucking options and make it as painful as possible all while trying to sell you $20 a month monitoring services. Seriously equifax? Why would I PAY your backward, half assed company money to sell AND leak my data? What the christ!

      I just froze all 3 of mine and nothing was hidden. In fact everything was very obvious.

      Equifax did try to make me use a lock feature instead of a freeze, but I found the freezer at my.equifax.com

      The main difference between the lock and freezer is your legal recourse it seems so definitely use the freeze.
