Indiana Hoosiers Get Credit Freeze

A new credit freeze law has just taken effect for Indiana
residents which interestingly differs from the other 40
similar state laws.

According to the Tribune Star, Indiana residents do not
have to pay credit reporting bureaus to freeze their
profiles:

Indiana’s law is different from most because
the credit reporting companies are not permitted
to charge Hoosiers for credit freezes or for lifting
the freezes. Many states allow the companies to
charge between $5 and $10 for these services.

It is a “strong law that doesn’t cost
consumers anything”

So, our tip for today is for any Indiana resident.
Take advantage of this important and free new
right for you to significantly reduce your potential
for identity theft and credit fraud.

Contact the three major credit bureaus in writing
to get your free credit freeze within 5 days.
