Those Who Froze Their Credit After Equifax Breach Risk Denied Iphone Financing

NEW YORK — Fans of Apple products who froze their credit after the Equifax data breach may end up with another hassle on their hands if they try to get one of the new iPhones that can cost more than $1,000. Other people who froze their credit and want to make any big purchase may find the same. Since Equifax disclosed that 143 million Americans had their Social Security numbers and other personal data hacked, experts have encouraged people who may be affected to put in place what’s known as a credit freeze.
