Consumer and protected-consumer security freeze

Tenn. Security Freeze
active

Lets Tennessee consumers freeze their credit reports so that a consumer reporting agency cannot release the report or score for new credit without the consumer's authorization. A separate section lets a parent or guardian place a freeze for a child under 16 or an incapacitated adult, creating a record if no credit file yet exists.
