In response to the massive identity theft affecting people in the U.S., Canada, the UK, and beyond, I successfully froze my credit with Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. It only took about 10 minutes, and it was easy and free! While I can’t say this will completely protect my identity, at least I can have some peace of mind knowing I took a step to protect myself.
And if you ever need to unfreeze your credit, it’s as simple as logging into each website, clicking unfreeze, and answering your security questions. I highly recommend doing this if you haven’t already done so!
For those of you who work and live in the financial world, what are you doing to protect your identity?
