"Experts say the most effective action you can take right now is to freeze your credit files at the three major credit bureaus: #Experian, #Equifax and #TransUnion [ETA: #Innovis, #ChexSystems, and #LexisNexis, too]. That will prevent others from signing up for credit cards or opening other financial accounts in your name."

This is free, but they hide the option on their websites trying to sell you credit monitoring services.

Be adamant. You want to "freeze" your credit. That's the search term. You can also freeze the credit of your under 18 dependents.

The credit can be temporarily unfrozen when you need to use it. The company you're applying for credit with will tell you which of the three they're using to run a credit check and the sites have different ways of temporarily unfreezing.

The US should pass a law to auto-freeze everyone's credit and allow them to opt out if they desire rather than leaving credit unfrozen and requiring people to opt in.

The 3 Reports You Haven’t Frozen Yet - NerdWallet

Equifax, Experian and TransUnion are only three of dozens of consumer reporting agencies. Experts say you should consider freezing some of your other reports, as well as those from the Big Three.

@nateb Once you have a form letter drafted, don’t just send it to #Equifax (#EFX), #TransUnion (#TRU), & #Experian (#EXPN); also send it to #Innovis, #NCTUE, #Verisk, etc.
US credit bureaus are legally required to give you a copy of your file on request at no cost (max 1 per yr). But some of them demand a copy of your driver's license. Why should we trust them with that? Doesn't that precondition, invented by the bureau, in effect violate my right to receive a copy? #efx #equifax #tru #transunion #expn #experian #innovis

Americans: It's not enough to freeze your credit. If you only ask for a freeze your data will still be shared for prescreening offers. You also want to specifically opt-out of #prescreening. If you opt-out of #Innovis prescreening, Innovis will automatically send your opt-out preference to #Equifax, #Experian, & #Transunion.
