who got hit by identity theft. An expert said that having a credit freeze could have saved the guy a lot of time and trouble. After that, we heard from several folks wondering how to freeze your credit. "Things continue to trickle in," said Andrew Davidson of his run-in with identity theft a couple years ago. Since then, he has had to spend way more time than he would like convincing various lenders that accounts opened in his name was the work of crooks, not him. He says if he could go back in time, he would make sure his credit was frozen.
"There's no reason to not have your credit frozen," Davidson said. "It took me maybe an hour to create accounts at the three credit bureaus and get on there and freeze the credit." Fraud experts agree freezing your credit is a good idea because it limits access to your credit file and effectively stops a crook from opening a new credit card in your name. It may seem daunting, but it is not.
