No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I'm just curiuos. I have not locked my files but was wondering if any entity like an employer, cc companies you already have on your accounts list etc.
And while locked do I still have access to my reports thru the various sources?
Your current lenders can still access as well as any lender/collector you may owe money to.
Not sure of employers.
Employers may be a hit & miss area. I have 3 parties that check my background including credit every year. 2 out of the last 3 years I've had to unfreeze my reports for them to clear me for work.

Physh1 is correct, if an employer engages a third party to conduct background checks, which is getting increasing popular these days, then you would have to unfreeze.

This is good to know bc if for instance your current employer is looking it lets you know. Currently I'm not looking for job so thats good. Cap 1 is looking bc I get constant auto finance offers from them. Interesting how this credit thing works!
