<prompt> Human: I have great credit and am planning to buy a house in a couple years. I was thinking of freezing my credit to protect myself, just in case. I dont plan to open any accounts until the house. Are there things I should consider? Is this a good idea?  <response>: Why not if it would give you piece of mind. Just make sure you save all the documentationpasswords - because if you do not have them I am not sure you will be able to unfreeze the credit. It costs around 10 to freeze and then 10 again to unfreeze each bureau - so around 60 but one of them may be free.I did this when I thought my SS had been compromised.
