Place a precautionary freeze while you investigate

    Freezing your credit before you've fully investigated is a low-cost insurance policy — it stops new accounts being opened in the gap.

    No downside to freezing early

    Freezes can be temporarily lifted in minutes when you genuinely apply for credit. There's no good reason not to put one in place while you investigate.
