consumerist.com — Red Tape Chronicles has a good guide for how to set up a credit report freeze at each of the three major credit bureaus. A freeze means no one can access your credit report unless you "unthaw" your report. This means no new credit cards, loans, or mortgages, either by you, or by a potential identity thief.

punishing 9 people in legitimate dire straits just to slam 1 deadbeat does not put you on the side of the angels. When predatory lending practices are abolished, then you can have your credit system back. In the mean time, suck it up.

Throw your credit report in a bucket liquid nitrogen. That'll freeze it nicely.
