Here at the tiny house again, I am going to show the living room today. First I\\xa0wanted to talk about what North Carolina did recently. \\xa0They passed a law that allowed parents to freeze their kids credit profile before they turn 18. In the past you really did not have the ability to freeze a child\\u2019s credit report until they were 18, officially, kids\\xa0don\\u2019t have a credit profile. \\xa0North Carolina passes law to change that. \\xa0Now people who live in North Carolina can freeze their child\\u2019s credit report. \\xa0Child identity theft is the fasted growing demographic of identity theft.

I am going to try do something about that here in Michigan. I think really all the states should pass a similar law, so I am going to work with my contacts to see what would take to get something like that moving along in Michigan. I think it\\u2019s a good move to freeze your credit report. There is a way to freeze your kids credit report before they turn 18.
