If you’ve done much searching around for free credit monitoring, you know there is no shortage of services out there offering free access to your credit reports and scores all year long. Unfortunately, your options are more limited if you have a credit freeze on your reports (as it is now recommended we all have in the wake of the Equifax hack). Thankfully, there are some exceptions, meaning you need not sacrifice the free credit monitoring you need – for credit repair efforts and beyond — just as much as you need your credit freeze.
