I’m ready to freeze my credit with the 3 bureaus, even more so since I MAY have been impacted by the Equifax debacle.
I just got married in May and started the name change process about 3 weeks ago. I just signed up for Credit Karma to check my credit report and CK wouldn’t let me use my new name on my profile since my new name doesn’t match the info from the credit bureaus.
Does my recent name change make it a bad time to do the credit freeze? Or is my credit mainly identified through my social security #, rather than my name - and thus I should just go ahead and freeze it asap?
