#DisruptCreditBureaus - Ragnarök_62 - 10-11-2017
Now the noise has died down and folks might get their phone calls through. Also, the websites should work now.
Read here first : http://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/equifax-data-breach-how-to-freeze-your-credit
Why? Equifax's fuckup has given ol'e Rags a gift. For eveyone who gets a freeze, it costs the credit bureaus money 'cause they can't sell your data. Millies might want to pass since their credit needs are more mobile and unpredictable. [Buy/rent places to live, buy 1st car, open new credit cards, new data plans on fones, etc.]
Xer's : Uh, these credit bureaus are using YOUR data and making a profit off of it. Are you in that income stream? I doubt it. No freebies, duuudes/dudettes.
Boomers: Boycott time! Remember the 1960''s-1970's?

I've had mine frozen for the last couple of years. It really is the best defense (currently available) against a lot of forms of identity theft targeting finances.
