NYS CPB - Starting November 1, 2006, New Yorkers have a new weapon to use against Identity Theft: the New York State Security Freeze Law What is a Security Freeze? A Security Freeze is one of the newest ways for you to prevent someone from opening a new credit account under your name. When someone uses your name or your personal information to open a new account or to borrow money, that's called Identity Theft. Identity Theft makes it appear that you were responsible for opening these new accounts. There is no charge for a New York State resident to place a Security Freeze on their credit report if you are the victim of Identity Theft or you are making this request for the first time. For second or subsequent requests for a Security Freeze, you may be charged up to $5 for that service. 3:20:57 AM
