Monitor Your Credit

After the Equifax hack took center stage in 2017, most Americans are paying more attention to safeguarding their credit information. Here are a few ways you can make your credit information more secure:


  • Never carry your Social Security card with you. Use a photocopy if you know ahead you’ll need it.

  • Don’t give your Social Security number to just anyone. Other than taking out new credit, there are few reasons to divulge this number.

  • Get a free credit report every year, or sooner if you are denied credit for any reason, at www.annualcreditreport.com.

  • If you know you won’t need to open new credit, freeze your accounts through the three major credit reporting agencies. You can still use your credit, but scammers can’t open new accounts in your name.


Monitor your credit, investment and bank accounts diligently.
