Credit Freezes

What is a security freeze?

A security freeze on your credit report is designed to prevent new services or loans from being granted in your name. It’s important to understand that if you place a security freeze, it may delay the timely approval of credit applications that you initiate. It is your responsibility to unfreeze your credit report, and you will need to do this with all three credit reporting agencies. 

What’s the cost of placing or removing a security freeze?

There is no fee to place or remove a security freeze. 

Can I apply for new credit with a security freeze in place?

Once you place a security freeze, your credit report and credit information are essentially locked, and potential creditors or lenders will be advised that your credit report is frozen. You must first remove the security freeze in order to apply for credit, a loan, insurance, employment or any other service requiring accessing your credit history. 

Will adding a security freeze impact my credit worthiness?

No, a security freeze will not impact your credit worthiness or score, either positively or negatively.
