Thanks for the story.

I was interested in this kind of service. I already have an opt out with all the credit unions, but following the links, I found out that as of Jan 1, 2008, I can, in Texas, absolutely freeze my credit report. It used to be only for Victims.

This means even with your SSN, if they don't have access to your physical home phone and pin, etc, they can't get new credit. I found this site very useful.

A freeze is for me, I have no need for credit at the speed of light (it takes a few days if needed). People might also be interested in setting up what this guy charged you for (the convenience of renewing for you every 90 days it expires).
