Study Shows Low Awareness of Security Freeze Laws

A study conducted by the AARP indicates that although consumers have a high concern about identity theft, their awareness of security freeze legislation remains extremely low.

"To temporarily remove a security freeze for a specific party, provide
your personal identification number to the party you wish to grant
access to your report"

We can't believe Experian is doing this!  The other two provide
separate one-time use PINs for third parties.
