Stop Identity Thieves

Beginning June 1, 2007, you have the right to put a "security freeze" on your credit file. A security freeze can help prevent identity theft. A security freeze means that your file cannot be shared with potential creditors. Most businesses will not open credit accounts without first checking a consumer's credit history. If your credit files are frozen, even someone who has stolen your name and Social Security number would probably not be able to get credit in your name.
