Credit Freezes Mostly Aid Those at High Risk of Identity Theft
Posted on May 10, 2006 by Tom Fragala
Liz Pullam Weston has an article in the Los Angeles Times about credit freezes.
Credit freezes can be a terrific tool for identity theft victims and those at high risk, such as people whose personal information has been exposed to criminals in a database breach. Freezes are much more effective than previous measures, such as fraud alerts, that sometimes are ignored by lenders.
The benefit for people who aren't at high risk of identity theft, though, is less clear.
