Supported goals

• freeze — the CFPB listing says Blend Insights will freeze its consumer report on request. This restricts release rather than erasing information.

Channels and required capabilities

• Channel: current official consumer channel or the CFPB-listed telephone/postal route
• Harness capabilities: browser and filesystem; telephone/postal action is manual
• Destination: verify Blend’s current consumer instructions before disclosing information

Minimum known fields

Use only the current official requirements. The user directly supplies identifiers, documents, signatures, and authentication information.

Procedure

1. Explain that Blend reports can support lender verification and a freeze may delay a legitimate credit application.
2. Confirm the user’s intended consequence and check for imminent applications.
3. Verify the current channel; preview fields, destination, and request.
4. Obtain approval and let the user complete sensitive/final steps.

Manual checkpoints

• Telephone/postal handling, identifiers, documents, signature, and final submission are user-handled.

Evidence and status interpretation

A request is not an active freeze until confirmed. The freeze is not deletion and does not freeze source bank, employer, or credit-bureau records.

Limitations

• The CFPB says a Blend report may exist only after a lender using Blend has recently considered the user.
• Recheck Blend’s official consumer channel before use.
