So freezing was pretty easing and is offered at each bureaus website...i was not charged any fee for freezing...there is another credit bureau that is lesser know that i also froze and that is innovis so for those freezing their reports make sure you do that one as well...
My financial guy just sent out a mass memo about the breach....he said to not take this lightly.. and advised on signing up for identity theft protection services. I checked my company's benefits site and they offer corporate rates for family protection of identity theft...so check with your employer because it's much cheaper if you are looking into that service. I think I'm just going to enroll in that rather than the free year of service offered by equifax because how I can I trust them now.
