Experian
Equaifax
TransUnion
Freezing your credit is FREE and does not affect your credit score!
You can Unfreeze ay anytime!
2) Freeze Your ChexSystems File
Freezing your Chexsystems can help prevent an identity thief from opening up a bank account in your name.
3) Get an IRS Identity Protection PIN
Commonly called an IP PIN, is a 6 digit number mailed to you by the IRS to verify your identity when filing a tax return. Once you are enrolled, the IRS issues you a IPIN each year and your tax return cant be filed without it.
Without the correct 6 digit IPPIN, a criminal who has your social security number cannot successfully file a tax return using your identity.
