New Law Helps Protect Consumers from Identity Theft

Identity theft is a growing concern for many consumers. It is estimated that identity theft costs U.S. consumers upwards of $16 billion each year. A new federal law gives consumers another way to avoid falling victim to identity theft by freezing their credit at the three major credit bureaus free of charge.

The credit freeze will help prevent criminals from opening accounts in another person’s name in order to commit financial fraud. More information on the new law is available here.
