Awareness of Security Freeze Legislation and Use of Security Freezes by Consumers Age 18+ Research Report, Jennifer H. Sauer, M.A., AARP Knowledge Management, Neal Walters, AARP Public Policy Institute, November 2007
“All but eleven states have enacted Security Freeze laws designed to protect consumers from identity theft. These laws give consumers the right to block their credit report from the view of others. This April-May 2007 AARP telephone survey explores the awareness of security freezes and the use of such freezes among consumers aged 18 and over living in California, Connecticut, Louisiana, Maine, Nevada, New Jersey, and North Carolina. In these selected states, the security freeze laws have been in effect for at least one year and they allow all consumers to place a security freeze on their credit report.”
