Dear Experian,

How do I lift my freeze in your company?

- GSN

Dear GSN,

If you wish to either temporarily or permanently lift your freeze, you can do so online at Experian's Freeze Center by creating an account or logging in to your Experian account.

If you no longer wish to have a security freeze on your credit file, you can simply toggle your freeze off in your Experian account. You may also request removal by phone or by mail.

If you submit your request in writing, be sure to include the following information:

• Full name
• Complete addresses from last two years
• Social security number
• Date of birth
• Copy of a government issued identification card, such as a driver's license, state ID card, etc.
• Copy of a utility bill, bank or insurance statement, etc.

Thanks for asking.
