Consumer Credit Protection Act (security freeze)
In effect- Citation:
- Utah Code 13-45-201 et seq.; 13-45-501 et seq.
Utah law lets you place a security freeze on your credit file, which stops a credit bureau from releasing your report to most new creditors until you lift it. Since September 21, 2018, federal law also makes placing and lifting a freeze free at each nationwide credit bureau. Part 5 of the same chapter, Credit Report Protection for Minors, covers freezes for protected consumers.
What you can do
Place a free freeze online or by phone at Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, and keep any PIN or login you create.
