Carter Dewater: You can freeze your credit reports by contacting each of the credit bureaus, individually. Keep in mind that you can't freeze your credit reports in all states. As of October 2005, here is the current list: http://blog.trustedid.com/?page_id=15. The cost of freezing your credit reports varies in each state. Also, in some states, freezing your credit reports is free if you are a vicitim of identity theft. Finally keep in mind that once you have frozen your credit reports, you'll need to "unfreeze" them before you apply for credit. In most cases, you should start the process of unfreezing at least three days before you expect to need some one to access your credit reports.

Today this happens to about 3 million Americans, according to the Federal Trade Commission....Show more
