There was another post or comment about this topic and a person posted a list of websites to freeze your credit. Does anyone know where that comment went?

Might be worth investing in a credit monitoring service. I use aura, it was definitely the simplest way to freeze each one from the same portal. I also use their call filtering service so any unknown number that calls me gets silenced before my phone rings and a message says, “I’m a spam filter, please state the nature of the call.” It’s saved me so much goddamn looking at who’s calling.

On top of that, gives me alerts, credit scores on the regular so I can notice if anything is up, it’s been systematically requesting takedowns of all my info on those data broker sites…other shit too, honestly. I forget. But it’s definitely made my life much more pleasant.
