Why YSK: Locking your credit with the main 3 places is not enough.
https://innovis.com/ have grown enough to require locking as providers are using them as a single check source.
There’s also https://www.chexsystems.com/ which many banks use for opening checking accounts. They’re unique because they handle accounts that don’t show up in a credit report.
Oh. Man imagine if they had not privatized such basic public services…
I don’t even know of another country that has such a system of any kind.
