Financial Fitness with Alan Akina - How to put a Credit Freeze on your TransUnion Credit Profile

Good morning, gang. On my last segment, I helped you to set up a credit freeze for your Equifax credit profile. For today's financial fitness report, I'll help you to do the same thing but with TransUnion. You see, the big 3 credit bureaus— Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian— will allow you to set up a credit freeze for free. So let's dive right in. Now, the first thing is go to transunion.com. And then once there, click on the tab Credit Help. Now slide your mouse over the Credit Freeze tab and click. Now once there, click on the orange button Add Freeze. Here you have to enter your personal information to create an account. Once you verify your identity, you will now have access to the credit freeze tool. Now go ahead and set up the freeze on your credit profile. Now you can also set up a freeze by phone. You can reach TransUnion at 888-909-7847. 8872. Now remember, family, that it is totally free to set and lift a freeze, just like we did with your Equifax credit. You will now have the freedom to lift a freeze for a short period of time to have a lender pull your credit, but only when you are looking for a new loan. Now tune in next time as I help you to set up a credit freeze with Experian. For Wake Up Today, I'm Alan Akina. See you next time.
