Illinois credit freeze now law
Public Law 094-0799 now allows Illinois residents to have a freeze applied to their credit reports. The maximum fee (not applicable to those 65 and over) is $10.00. The law, according to a press release [link to http://www.illinois.gov/PressReleases/ShowPressRelease.cfm?SubjectID=3&RecNum=4920 no longer works] from the governor’s office, takes effect January 1, 2006.
Look for other states to continue to pile on, now that the VA breach has become such big news.
That’s a great credit rating you’ve got there…shame if anything happened to it.
