I'm 18 years old and i don't own a credit card yet. But, i've been mailing job applications to apply for a job at a fast food restaurant. The applications require a ss #, so i decided to put it on there. But, i keep getting worried about my ss # and i feel really afraid that i have been putting my ss # on the job applications, now that identity theft and fraud issues have increased in this nation. So, i heard about annualcreditreport.com, and how they give you a once every 12 months credit check. So i decided to give it a try. But, when i typed in all my required informatio for the free credit report, the credit bureau i requested my credit report from has denied the request. It said that it may be due to credit freeze, non-matching information, and some other things. I suspect that it's the credit freeze. But i have never done anything with my credit yet, since i don't own a credit card. But my parents have control over my credit. Should i ask my parents if they freezed it ?
