I see many views but not one answer. I hope I am not confusing people with the question so maybe a little explanation is warranted.

One has the option of freezing one's credit with the three credit bureaus that monitor people's credit line; these are Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. When one freezes self's credit line, no one can open a credit account or obtain a loan unless one unfreezes the credit line before the financial transaction takes places. A freeze prevents any financial institutions, employers who do credit background checks, and any criminals from inquiring (credit check) into one's credit score to open any account in ones name. It is a safety practice to guard one's credit. If the owner of the credit line desires to open a credit account or obtain a loan, the person can unfreeze it for a specified time and then the credit line freezes again.

What I am asking is if anyone who froze his/her credit had to unfreeze it during the application process and if so, for how long approximately? Anyone?
