Opt-out or freeze?
The opt-outs are about lists
They take you off LexisNexis's marketing and prescreen lists, or out of its restricted public records products if you qualify. They don't stop other companies or public records agencies collecting your data.1
The freeze is about your report
It is meant to stop credit, loans and services being approved in your name without your consent. Companies you already have an account with can still see your report to review or collect that account.3
