Introduced by: Kathy J. Byron | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Identity theft; security freezes.  Authorizes an individual who is over the age of 65 to freeze access to his credit report. If such a person has placed a freeze on his credit report, a consumer reporting agency is prohibited from releasing the credit report, or any information in it, without the person’s express authorization. The measure provides a means by which a consumer can release his report permanently, temporarily, or to a specific third party. Consumer reporting agencies may charge a fee not to exceed $20 for each freeze, removal of the freeze, or temporary lift of the freeze. A violation of this measure is a prohibited practice under the Virginia Consumer Protection Act.
