Security in One Simple Step
When it comes to protecting your money from fraud and scams, an ounce of prevention is worth at least a pound of cure. One of the most powerful preventative tools is a credit freeze.
A credit freeze simply prevents new creditors from accessing your credit report. This makes it significantly harder for identity thieves to open new accounts in your name.
Here’s what you need to know:
1. It’s free.
2. It won’t impact your credit score.
3. You can easily unlock it and refreeze it whenever you need.
4. It only blocks new credit applications, not your existing accounts.
How do you know if it is it right for you? Unless you’re planning to apply for new credit soon, like a mortgage or car loan, it’s a smart move to freeze your credit now. If you have upcoming credit applications, simply wait until after they are processed.
