That's an awesome quantification for freezes.  I did the same deal with Amex.

I might add that freezing your credit report does not prevent all hard INQs.

The US Attorney (civil or criminal) can make a hard pull at any time as can a child support agency.  These INQs are traditionally hard and whether or not your CR is frozen is irrelevant.

The US Attorney and Child Support Agency are not  creditors.  We are talking about preventing hard pulls from creditors.

False.

Child support agencies are creditors.  When the US Attorney (civil division) pulls your credit it is because the government is a creditor.

Each of the INQs will effect your FICO as if it were Citibank that placed the INQ.  A potential creditor will see the INQ as an application for credit ... or worse.

Child support agencies do not pay funds to the children.  They only faciilitate the funds. The parents pay the funds and child support sends it to the guardian.

False again.

Most of the time when a child support agency is involved it is because the custodial parent is on TANF.  That means the child support goes to the state to reimburse the costs of TANF. 

Are there any other straws you want to grasp at?

In any event, it is a hard INQ, it effects your credit score and potential and existing creditors will see it regardless of any freeze you may have.

Stick with the subject. We are talking about financial institutions that extends credit. No some agency that's feeding someone else's kid. This is obviously not the forum to discuss that.

I know you are confused, but not only do you not own this thread, but the fact is that there are posters who have indicated that they believe that a freeze will prevent all hard INQs even though that is not the case. 

You, yourself, have mistakenly indicated that "Creditors can only make a soft inquiry when a freeze is in place whether one already have credit with them or not."  This is not true.  It further developed that you believe that  the government and / or a child support agency cannot be creditors.  Again, you are misinformed.  

You are free to ignore posts that you do not like, but you do not own the thread.  Many of us had the common courtesy to ignore your posts about defrauding your creditors.  You might show the same good education and upbringing and do likewise with others.

You do what's best for you and I will continue to do the same. My 44 accounts are not all in good standing because you think I defrauded them.
