Supported goals
freeze — restrict access to the Innovis consumer report when deletion is unavailable. This does not erase the report.
Channels and required capabilities
- Channel: official browser page, telephone, or postal mail
- Harness capabilities: browser and filesystem; user handles identity verification
- Destination: Innovis security-freeze page
Minimum known fields
Use the current official channel. Sensitive identifiers, documents, PINs, and recovery information remain user-handled.
Procedure
- Explain that Innovis is separate from the three nationwide bureaus.
- Warn about possible delays to legitimate credit or identity-verification activity.
- Preview, approve, and let the user complete the official request.
- Record minimal confirmation evidence and lift instructions.
Manual checkpoints
- Sensitive fields, identity documents, CAPTCHA, authentication, and final submission are user-handled.
Evidence and status interpretation
An Innovis confirmation is not deletion and does not establish a freeze elsewhere.
Limitations
- Review the live notice for permitted access and current lift/removal procedures.
