What are the fees associated with freezing and unfreezing my credit?

Asked 2 years ago
TransUnion does not typically charge a fee for placing a credit freeze or for unfreezing your credit. A credit freeze is a free service that allows consumers to restrict access to their credit reports, helping to prevent identity theft. Additionally, when you decide to lift the freeze, whether temporarily or permanently, TransUnion remains committed to providing this service at no charge. It is important for consumers to be aware that they may need to provide certain information, such as their personal identification details and possibly a secure PIN or password, when initiating a freeze or unfreeze action. Additionally, while TransUnion does not charge for these services, there may be fees or requirements from other credit bureaus or services if you choose to interact with them as well. For the most accurate and updated information regarding fees and processes related to credit freezes and unfreezes, it is advisable to visit TransUnion’s official website directly.
