The link the other poster provided is good. You'll need to create an account with each of the three credit bureaus if you haven't already. Once that is done you should be able to navigate to where you can freeze the account. One of them is a little tricky to find where it is on the site the best I remember.
Anyway, once you find where to do it on each site I suggest bookmarking that particular page. That way when you need to unfreeze for a credit check it's easy to go back to it quickly and schedule a thaw (unfreeze for a period of time). There are also apps for the credit bureaus that may allow you to do it on them now, not sure. I have enough apps already, lol.
Ya - it turns out I had Transunion open but the other two frozen. I must have needed it open for something and forgot to freeze it again.
Funny part of this is, I had tried to get credit on something a few weeks ago and got turned down... was bummed. Then got the "turn down" letter in the mail and it was because my bureau (Equifax I think) was frozen and they couldn't pull my report. Doh!
