You may have read one of our previous articles “The Best $60 I’ve Spent,” which provides information and resources about freezing your credit at the cost of $60. We’re excited to share that this will no longer be the best $60 you’ve spent, because freezing your credit is now free!
Unlike credit monitoring services, freezing your credit is a proactive step that locks down credit files. For more information about why you should freeze your credit and how it works, please refer to our article “The Best $60 I’ve Spent”.
