Freeze Credit

Certainly! To freeze your credit, follow these steps:

1. Contact the Three Major Credit Reporting Agencies:

   • Reach out to Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.

   • You can request a credit freeze online, by phone, or by mail.

   • If you choose online or phone requests, the agency must place the freeze within one business day123.

2. Provide Necessary Information:

   • Be prepared to share your name, address, birth date, and Social Security number.

   • The agencies may also ask identity verification questions4.

Remember, a credit freeze helps prevent identity theft and stops new accounts from being opened in your name. Stay vigilant! 😊
