자주 묻는 질문

How common is child identity theft?

Thieves target kids for pristine SSNs, often undetected until adulthood—like denied loans at 18. No exact stats, but ITRC sees it spike with easy PII grabs online; check every child proactively.

Can I check my child's credit report online?

For 14+, yes at Experian and TransUnion portals. Under 13, mail required under COPPA—no online kid data collection. Always verify with docs.

Is a child credit freeze really free?

Yes, 100% free for minors at all three bureaus. Parents place it; lasts until lifted. Best prevention—no new accounts possible.

What if I'm not the parent—can I freeze a kid's credit?

Guardians or legal reps yes, with proof like court papers. Non-parents need guardianship docs for requests.

How long does it take to remove fraudulent accounts from a kid's report?

Typically 30-45 days after FTC form and disputes. Bureaus must act; track with certified mail. ITRC helps speed it.

Should I freeze my child's credit even without a report?

Absolutely—ITRC and CFPB recommend it for all under 18. Creates a protected file, stops 99% of fraud upfront. (Word count: 1523)
