Background on Security Freeze
If you are a resident of California, you have the right as of January
1, 2003 to place a security freeze on your credit report. A Security
Freeze will prevent access to your credit report, allowing you to
control which companies may see your credit report. However, there
are certain exemptions to the Security Freeze allowed by state law
that allows companies to view your report even though it is frozen.
