Eight more states Posted by Michelle at 01/12/07 06:02 PM

Eight more states had their security freeze laws go into effect at the beginning of the year. The security freeze can help protect your identity and your finances. It lets you lock up your credit files so that fraudsters can't open up new accounts and rack up mountains of debt. New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Rhode Island, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania had their security freeze laws go into effect at the beginning of the year. Illinois now provides the security freeze to all consumers, not just identity theft victims, and Hawaii and Kansas provide the freeze to ID theft victims.
