Freezing your TWN Report

TWN is not just for people lying on their on resume, but if you are concerned about an upcoming employment verification check, you have options.

Everyone should freeze their TWN – no matter what situation you are in, it simply does not benefit you to have this active.

Secondly, the information can be used against you by debt collectors, banks, loan officers, and potential business partners. Again, Equifax includes this in their positioning and marketing of the product, and they are pushing to grow in this space over the next few years.

Not worried because you haven’t lied about anything ever? The problem is that the information on TWN is notoriously inaccurate, so you might still get punished for something in the report. And having your salary information hurts you in potential negotiations, since they can see exactly how much you think you are worth.
