What Is a Credit Freeze?

A credit freeze — also called a security freeze — prevents lenders from accessing your credit report. In essence, this will stop scammers from being able to open new accounts in your name as lenders won’t be able to check your credit file.

A credit freeze offers stronger protection for your credit report but also blocks credit applications that you authorize. It also won’t affect your credit history or credit score, and you can still review your report if it’s frozen.
