Credit freeze + monitoring

Freezing and monitoring your credit helps protect against identity theft by preventing unauthorized access to your credit report, making it harder for fraudsters to open new accounts in your name. It provides ongoing oversight, alerting you to any suspicious activity and allowing for quick action to mitigate potential damage. Additionally, it offers peace of mind knowing that your financial information is secured and continuously monitored.
