Daily reminder you all should freeze your credit with Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian.
You can do it online by making an account with each bureau in under 5 minutes.
It plays a big part in protecting you from identity theft and You can always temporarily lift it if you need a new credit line.
Everyone's credit should be frozen by default but then how else would data brokers make billions off of that sweet sweet data mining.
Didn't know this was a thing. So you can freeze it until you want to do something that requires a credit check you can unfreeze it?
> Didn't know this was a thing.
There's a reason why.
*Dons tin foil 🎩*
Having a credit freeze prevents credit inquiries and anyone from taking out a line of credit in your name without your consent.
it also stops the main bureaus from selling your data.
Unless youve been a victim of identity theft no one's going to tell you about it because it's not profitable for anyone involved except for you.
> So you can freeze it until you want to do something
You sure can!
