What state do you live in? Credit freeze rules vary from state to state.

I'm wholly ignorant to this but I am very curious. Why would it be like that?

Different state laws mandating different things.

Federal Law allows a fee, some states have passed laws mandating no fee, or no fee to freeze but a fee to unfreeze, etc

Is there a wiki page or government list that describes the rules for each state?
