While the law varies from state to state, in general, you may request a security freeze to be placed upon your consumer file by completing the initial request form to the left. Upon receipt of your request, you will receive an email from CoreLogic, Inc. requesting you to complete certain steps to authenticate your identity. After Credco verifies your identity, it will place a security freeze on your Credco consumer file. If you do not complete the authentication process, Credco will be unable to place a freeze on your file.
Once a security freeze is in place, Credco will provide you with a personal PIN. Once frozen, your Credco consumer file will only be released, subject to certain exceptions permitted by law, such as to your existing creditors, when you directly contact Credco, provide us with your personal PIN, and request that any information Credco has on you be released. If you need to lift the freeze temporarily for a period of time or a particular company, see instructions below.
Please note that this process only places a freeze on your Credco file and not on any file which may be maintained by one or more affiliated companies or any other consumer reporting agencies. If you wish to place a security freeze on your credit report with any other consumer reporting agency, such as the three nationwide consumer credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion), you will need to contact those companies directly. Credco is not able to place a security freeze with any other entity on your behalf.
