Locking file credit has no breeze
California, consumers can now “freeze” their credit files to thwart identity thieves. And Cheryl Crofts wasted no time during the attempt, which involve issues on the ice.Once the new law was Jan 1, San Francisco accountant contacted the three major credit agencies - Equifax, TransUnion and Experian. She never stole their identities, but their files freezing observed a prudent move would be anyway.
“It was really, really hard,” said Crofts. “They are struggling to information provided by businesses, and we must send your request by certified mail.
The worst was that the total cost of a freeze of files is about (unless you’re already a victim of identity theft, in which case it is free, we’ll get back to that).
Crofts finally. “They should be much easier,” she says. “And much less expensive.”
The new law on the protection of people like Crofts - which means that each of us - as a victim of identity thieves, not less than people per year. Identity fraud is now the fastest rising crime in the USA, according to the Federal Trade Commission.
The idea is that discourage identity thieves, when banks and other lenders are not able to access credit files as part of routine credit information. The files can not be frozen, or “thawed”, by a consumer (true) for a limited duration or for certain creditors.
