Don't provide your credit card number to Equifax in connection with any of its services. The credit freezes are free through Equifax through Nov. 21. Its other protection services are free for a year. For now, you'll have to pay $5 in Ohio to freeze your credit files through TransUnion and Experian. There's regulatory pressure on Equifax to cover everything or reimburse people.
