four-walling
Kerry, San Diego
I put a permanent credit freeze on my Experian, Equifax and Transunion files.
Putting a permanent freeze on businesses being able to access my credit file is the ultimate pain in the butt, but is the absolutely necessary action to take because of the Anthem security breach.
Now is not the time to worry about when Anthem will provide fraud protection or who will pay for it.
The fallout from somebody stealing your identity is terrible. I am thankful it has never happened to me, but I have seen what happens to those who have been a victim.
My advice is pay the $10 to each of the 3 credit bureaus and freeze your credit now if you have ever had anything to do with Anthem.
Just my $.02.
