Identity theft is on the rise, so here is 1 tip from IDShield on how you can protect your identity and help keep your online privacy intact...
1. Freeze your credit with the 3 major credit bureaus.
Freezing your credit doesn’t negatively impact your credit score or your ability to buy things - it restricts who can access your credit report. This helps keep your credit safe from online thieves.
?? To freeze your credit, contact the three main credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, TransUnion) to request a free credit freeze.
Should you decide to make a major purchase where a lender needs to check your credit, follow the same process to remove the freeze, and once the check is complete, you can reinitiate it.
?? Note: it’s a good idea to regularly review your credit statements and reports for suspicious activity.
? Here’s the contact info for the three main credit bureaus:
1. Experian - go to their Credit Freeze Center or call 888-397-3742
2. Equifax - go to their Security Freeze Center or call 800-525-6285
3. TransUnion - go to their Freeze Support Center, or call 800-680-7289
