CREDIT FREEZES

Looking for stronger ways to protect your credit? Thanks to a new federal law, now you can place a free credit freeze on your credit report for yourself and children under 16.

What is it? A credit freeze restricts access to your credit file, making it harder for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name. Usually, you get a PIN to use each time you want to freeze and unfreeze your account to apply for new credit.

You will need to go to each credit reporting agency’s website to place the freeze:

Transunion
Equifax
Experian
