Freezing your credit isn’t only used for identity theft, it’s used mostly to prevent someone from opening up credit in your name. You must freeze your credit at all three credit bureaus, most states it’s free or if you live in California, it’s $10 per bureau. It also costs $10 for a temporary freeze. I have had my credit frozen for 2 years now.
This site has a guide to freezing your credit. http://www.clarkhoward.com/news/clark-howard/personal-finance-credit/credit-freeze-and-thaw-guide/nFbL/

I meant to say, “it’s also $10 to UN-freeze”
Thanks Wendy! We love hearing from you. And I never knew that it cost money if you’re in California, thanks for sharing.
