Is Alabama a Credit Freeze State? No. Alabama is one of five states that does not currently have its own state law establishing the availability of credit freezes for its citizens. However, as of November 1, 2007, the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion) have voluntarily made credit freezes available to all Alabama state citizens. Innovis also voluntarily allows consumers in all states to freeze their Innovis credit files.
Eligibility: All consumers (under the credit bureaus' voluntary credit freeze program)
Credit Freeze Fees: (Per credit bureau. To be effective, you should place a freeze at each credit bureau)
-
No cost for confirmed Identity Theft victims to place a credit freeze (with a copy of police report) -
All others must pay $10.00 to place a freeze, temporarily lift the freeze, or to remove it altogether.
