You can place a security freeze on your Equifax credit report online after creating a myEquifax account, by phone, or by mail. Freezes must be placed, lifted or removed separately with each of the three nationwide credit bureaus. Unless you temporarily lift or permanently remove a freeze from your credit report, it can’t be accessed to open new accounts (subject to certain exceptions).
