Security freeze on credit reports

silversaffer

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to but a block on your credit record with the 3 credit checking agencies as you can in many US states and it appears some countries in Europe? Idea is you tell the agencies to not approve any credit requests against your record until you release the freeze. Seems a fairly robust way to prevent identity theft. Thx.

i think there is something already set up to do this. i think the organisation is cifas or something similar. not sure how it works though.
