Is it easy or possible to freeze and unfreeze on demand as needed?

  Sure if you like paying the fee every time. Shouldn’t have a fee to begin with though. Just a way to talk people out of it, really.

    Equifax is waiving the fee since the recent incident.

      From what I read it's just on their identity service which isn't actually a freeze. Also doesn't solve the problem of the other agencies charging. You really need a freeze against them all.

    Apparently, in some states, they're not allowed by law charge a fee. I'm in NY, and I was able to freeze my credit reports for free.

  The bureaus allow lifting a freeze temporarily, but there could be a fee, depending on what state you live in.
