PR - TransUnion 'File Freeze for All' Available Beginning Today

Today marks the official launch of TransUnion’s highly anticipated and comprehensive file freeze solution in the U.S., the scope of which has been expanded since being first announced in mid September. Effective immediately consumers in all U.S. states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the U.S. Territories and all active military personnel — even those without current U.S. addresses — have the ability to freeze their TransUnion credit file.

TransUnion is the first national credit reporting company to empower all U.S. victims of identity theft to place, lift or remove a file freeze free of charge regardless of where they reside. For more details about the file freeze process and associated charges for non-victims, visit www.transunion.com, click on "Identity Theft" at the bottom of the page and select the "Security Freeze" option listed under "Prevention."
