You Can Freeze Your Credit in 2007

I heard on the radio this morning that starting in 2007 you can put a freeze on your credit account to prevent anyone opening credit on your information. The announcement quoted the Illinois Atty. General, but I believe it is nationwide. You will have to write to the three credit reporting companies.

This could help prevent identity theft.

You may want to think twice about doing this if YOU will soon be applying for new accounts -- or wanting reports sent to mortgage brokers. It would slow up that process.
