Do you know if a credit freeze cover this case too?
No this is for bank and checking accounts. I had someone try to open a bank account at a bank I’ve never visited. I have never heard that you can block this too. Just be aware if you want a new bank account to do the temporary freeze lift similar to credit cards.
