Experian had three business days to lift Robert Boisvert's credit freeze. He waited three months. The only help on offer came with a paid protection plan.
Credit freeze vs. credit lock: not legally the same thing.
Freeze: free by federal law, strong protections, can't be lifted without your request. Lock: often paid, instant app toggle, fewer legal protections, possible liability waivers.
