If you think that your Social Security # has been, or will be, compromised, request that your information be “frozen” free at each credit bureau. It doesn’t affect purchases or your credit cards; it stops anyone from looking at your data without your direct permission. theweek.com/personal-fin...
Also, disputing information can be as easy as just submitting a dispute (I had an account completely disappear after asking for a balance update) or it may require submitting a few more disputes.
It’s free. Takes about 5 minutes each, if you’re new to the process. You will need to do all 3 separately. Links: 🥚 Trans Union: www.transunion.com/credit-freeze 🥚 Experian: www.experian.com/freeze 🥚 Equifax: www.equifax.com/personal/credit-report-services/credit-freeze

They’ll get to my report and think someone already ruined it.
Thank you for reposting this!
Thank you so much for posting this.
Thank you
Thank you. I have to create an account at each of these?
Yeap … usually just your email address; they don’t share data with each other.
Thanks so much. I felt like I was treating you like you’re tech support 😂😂
Thank you for the info.
DO IT. And also - contact your city or county clerk’s office and find out if they have an alert system if someone tries to steal your home with a quit claim deed or fake real estate sale paperwork
Done. Thank you so much!
Experion does not have an obvious credit freeze selection. Seems you have to go to “protection” in the drop down menu and there’s a paid service offering which it says it’s “different from a security freeze” click the “security freeze” to go to the slider toggle where one can choose “Freeze”.
Shows up on the top level page of the link I referenced for me, just now. 🤷♀️
Maybe because I’m using mobile version but thanks for clarifying
Thank you!😊

Hey, I noticed you use "📌", I just released a new update on my app which includes the private bookmarks feature. If you want to try it out and let me know your thoughts, that would be great: bsky.app/profile/blue... (It's free 😊)
