How to Lift an Equifax Credit Freeze Online

Lifting a credit freeze is a straightforward process that can be completed online. If you've previously frozen your credit report with Equifax, you may need to lift the freeze in order to apply for new credit or check your credit score. Here's how to do it:

To lift your Equifax credit freeze online, you'll need to provide some personal information and proof of identity. You can do this by logging into your account on the Equifax website and following these steps:

* First, log in to your account using your username and password.

* Click on the 'My Account' tab and then select 'Credit Freeze' from the dropdown menu.

* Click on 'Lift Credit Freeze' and follow the prompts to enter your personal information, including your name, address, Social Security number, and date of birth.

It's worth noting that Maryland consumers can place a credit freeze on their credit reports from all three credit reporting agencies for free, and they can also lift the freeze without paying a fee.
