South Carolina Does Credit Freezes Right!
(Image is in the Public Domain)
South Carolina's Governor just signed into law a bill that gives SC residents the ability to freeze their credit for free!
And of course there's always this:
The credit reporting industry has opposed such legislation relating to credit report freezes. One concern is that too many states will have different regulations, which would make it difficult for credit reporting bureaus to comply. That's a good argument, and it's why this issue needs to be addressed at the federal level. In the meantime, South Carolina was right to take action on the state level.Imagine that! Different states have different laws! Oh wah wah, cry me a freaking river! If they wanted to do business in Mexico or Canada, do you think there might be some different laws? It's not as if there aren't companies who do business in tons of different countries in the world successfully despite all the different laws and customs.
This is such a bogus argument, I'm going to have to try to remember not to even bother getting worked up about it anymore.
