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.

    Is this because you need to provide a bill? Or just like the caller id?

    Because if it’s the caller id, you can have that set on a per line basis. Worked for a cellular company. Super normal.

      I think it’s the caller ID. Should be easy, just have to get my mom to set it first.
