How can someone protect their credit while incarcerated?

In: Credit and Debit Cards [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

If you can still pay your bills on-time and in-full, there is no problem. I would appoint a person with internet access to monitor 3 bureau daily credit reports at a company like Indentity Guard and possible put a freeze or password on your credit report at the big reporting agencies.

If incarceration is prohibiting you from making payments timely and in-full, immediately notify all creditors of your financial hardship. Given the current markets, many will be willing to work with you on an alternate payment option.
