A friend of mine sent me his post about what to do if your identify is stolen.  I thought the idea of a credit freeze is very interesting.  If you are having a problem with this, you should go back in time to my entry from March 2, 2006, on ID Theft.  There are a number of other steps you can and should take to protect yourself, not just this credit freeze.  You should also visit the U.S. Gov’t’s website to help people whose identity has been stolen.  It’s full of useful tips.
