Security Freeze

[Gatito]

So, I'm looking into putting a security freeze on my CRs ... No, I'm not a victim of identity theft but I'm doing it more for 2 reasons. (1) For peace of mind and added security. (2) Makes it more work for me to apply for something so I force myself to stay in the garden. 

I got to thinking ... Who here has a security freeze on their CRs and what are your reasons for it?

Any comments/suggestions on security freezes that I should consider before doing this?

I have a freeze on TU. Just be sure you are doing it for the right reasons and you are not going to be apping for a lot of new accounts as there are costs involved with freezes if you are not the victim of ID theft.

I have a security freeze on all three credit reports.  I did it for security after the data breaches at stores and businesses in which I've been a customer. Also I don't see myself looking for any new credit in the near future so it was a good time to lock down my info.
