Signing up for 3B with secruity freezes. Temporary thaw?

Hi all,

I placed a security freeze with all the reporting agencies I could find after the Equifax data breach. I'd like to sign up for the Monthly 3B program.

 

Do I need to permanently unfreeze my accounts? Or just temporarility thaw them for the initial sign up?

 

Thanks all!

You'll have to temporarily unfreeze your accounts to pull credit reports. You can see more discussion about it here - http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/myFICO-Product-Feedback/Credit-freeze-cannot-pull-all-3-reports/td-p/5077421
