Links to the credit agencies are listed on the page linked above. Generally, it is a good idea to freeze your credit anyway. You can always unfreeze it on demand when someone needs it, then freeze it again. |
I've always avoided sites like the above. A good way for someone to get my PII would be to take advantage of fear after a publicized breach to convince me to give it to them. "Worried your SSN might have been exposed? Fill in your full name and birth date then hit Submit."
The site above might be totally legitimate but personally, I would not provide that information.
