Notified isn't a freeze. It may initiate a fraud alert but I doubt a freeze. I wouldn't trust the Election Commission to take care of this. <BR/><BR/>We're just too free and easy with credit now days. The mail is full of applications. At nearly every Christmas purchase I was asked to apply for a store credit account. Everyone wants to know the last four of your SSN. It's getting so that biometric may be the only way to know you're you. {{{shudder}}}Kay Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06073075957511329333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7186797.post-52478785542378407752008-01-09T16:33:00.000-06:002008-01-09T16:33:00.000-06:00Thanks for the info...So, what I haven't heard is ...Thanks for the info...<BR/><BR/>So, what I haven't heard is why all this work and expense is ours. It seems if someone other than me borrows money from a creditor with my social security number, it should be the creditor who has the burden of being sure who they are lending to and the cost of fixing it if they are wrong. But it seems that's PLAN B, after suing our government. This kind of thing is going to keep happening; we need a long term solution to protect our credit, not just a freeze due to this one breach.<BR/><BR/>I was at a neighborhood association meeting earlier this week and a handful of board members said there was already a freeze on their credit, even though they had not requested one. Is anyone else hearing stories like that? Or that creditors are already being more careful because of the Nashvile breach?Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04087082956705159705noreply@blogger.com
