  Your
  agent may already have explained to you the basics in freezing your cards when
  you are a victim of card fraud or is in danger of being one. Your credit
  provider may also be able to freeze your card even when you least expect it.
  However it may be, there are still different reasons why you should freeze your
  credit.

  
  

  
  
  

  Security
  freeze is known to be an effective way to determine or stop the most
  complicated identity theft. As mentioned, it can be requested by either the
  holder or the company, lest they detect patterns of purchase similar to credit
  scams. Whether to put a security freeze to your credit is a highly personal
  decision for the owner or a prerogative of your credit provider. However, if you
  are susceptible of fraud, you can immediately request for it.

  
  

  
  
  

  Forbes,
  one of the world's leading print and online magazines has recommended it. Business
  Funding Axis Capital Group, credit lender for small business owners across
  America has also advised it to their clients and bloggers and financiers have
  suggested it. Unless you are rest assured that you will not fall as a victim of
  fraud, then, it may not be necessary for you to keep your credit frozen.

  
  

  
  
  

  The
  following are the factors that can help you decide whether to freeze your card
  or not:

  
  

  
  
  

  1.      ID
  Theft Victim

  
  

  
  
  

  If you are already a victim of new
  identity theft, you might just as well consider freezing your account or
  placing a security freeze. Your misused identity can be sold or traded in an illegal
  way. Fraudulent scams like these happen in
  many developing cities such as Bangkok, Thailand, Jakarta, Indonesia and Hanoi,
  Vietnam where authorities and penalties remain lax. You may already have
  resolved the issue but after a few months or a year, it can happen again. In many
  states, no fee is required if the client request to put security freeze.

  
  

  
  
  

  2.      Security
  Breech Notices

  
  

  
  
  

  Has your Social Security number been part of a
  security breach? If a company or government agency has had a security breach
  which included your Social Security number, you may be at higher risk of ID
  theft. In less than three years, companies and government agencies announced
  security breaches affecting more than 200 million records containing sensitive
  personal information about individuals. The security freeze will stop a thief
  who has your Social Security number from using it to open new accounts in your
  name.

  
  

  
  
  

  3.       Stolen mail

  
  

  
  
  If your mail has been stolen, this may be an
  indication that you've been targeted for ID theft. Get a locked mailbox and
  consider a security freeze.
