Security freeze question

[Lesa]

I want to block my credit history from being viewed by my contractors. Should I put a security freeze on my file?

[Tracy Winters]

You can’t block your current contractors

You have no way of doing that. A security freeze is only good for blocking NEW creditors and lenders from accessing your credit report.
However, once you have an existing relationship with a business, they continue to have free access to your credit report regardless of the security freeze, or even a fraud alert for that matter.

This is for a good reason, because they need to maintain and monitor your existing account with them.

Hope this helps.
