How much does it cost to place, lift, or remove a freeze on my credit report?

If you are a victim of identity theft, you may request that a credit freeze be placed, lifted, or removed from your report free of charge.

If you are not a victim of identity theft, a credit reporting agency may charge you a fee to place the security freeze.  This is permitted by statute; however, the “Security Freeze” law does not authorize credit reporting agencies to charge fees for temporary lifts or removals of security freezes.
