as our personal and private information gets opened up to who knows how many eyes, i just figured i'd mention.
i froze my credit a few years ago.
it means that if any application for a credit card or loan is made, i will bascially find out about it. i have a fraud alert on there too but that's prolly not necessary for most ppl.
yes, i can still use my credit cards and pay my bills normally.
but it feels like a nice, extra layer of protection.
just sayin
