자주 묻는 질문

What's the difference between credit monitoring and identity theft protection?

Credit monitoring tracks reports, scores, and new accounts from bureaus like Equifax. Identity theft protection scans broader: dark web, SSN, banks, public records. Use both for full coverage—credit misses existing fraud.

How do I place a free credit freeze?

Go to Equifax, Experian, TransUnion sites. Verify ID, set PIN. Instant block—no fees. Thaw temporarily for loans. Services can't do it for you.

Is a credit freeze better than a credit lock?

Freeze is free, consumer-direct, highest block. Lock's app-quick but may fee via services. Both beat alerts for new account fraud.

Can I get free credit monitoring?

Yes—weekly reports at AnnualCreditReport.com, free scores from Experian/NerdWallet. No real-time alerts, so pair with statements review.

What if I suspect identity theft—first steps?

Lock accounts, place fraud alert/free freeze, report to IdentityTheft.gov. Dispute reports; file police if needed. Act in hours, not days.

Do identity protection services restore my credit score?

They alert and insure recovery, but you dispute errors (free via FCRA). Tools like Credit Booster AI speed disputes. No service fixes alone.
