"credit lock" or "credit freeze." This is a service offered by each
of the three credit reporting agencies, Equifax, TransUnion and
Experian, for about $10 per year each. Equifax is waiving its fee for
one year, but you'll still have to pay the others. This service
prevents someone from getting your credit report without your
permission, blocking them from taking out a loan in your name. It's a
pain in the neck to administer, but you may consider it worth the
trouble.
So you can get it for free from the company that loses your personal information, or pay for it from someone else. Gee, what to do?
