Abstract: An intermediary service provider is established to automatically request a corresponding security freeze at each of many redundant credit bureaus upon the enrollment of a particular consumer with the service provider. Each request of a security freeze to each credit bureau prompts that respective credit bureau to generate a unique identification code. Only the return of the correct respective unique identification code will enable the respective security freeze to be released. Accordingly, with the automated support of the service provider, the particular consumer seizes control of their security freeze credentials from each credit bureau before an identity thief can wreck havoc.
