Equifax breech: Hereās direct links to freeze all 3 credit bureauĀ reports
Concerned about the latest Equifax security breech that has affected nearly 150 million users? I was. I read a helpful article that recommended placing a freeze on my credit reports, which makes it impossible for new credit lines to be taken out. That sounded like the safest bet and best bang-for-the-buck, rather than paying $10-30/mo for identity theft monitoring. In about 10 minutes each, I hadā¦

How to dispute a credit report issue in under 5 minĀ (TransUnion)
Does your credit report contain information you donāt recognize or believe is inaccurate? Mine did.

A document online with the county even shows āremoval invalid lien.ā However, TransUnion hadnāt gotten that note for some reason, and it wasā¦
