I tried freezing my credit but I think transunion and equifax wouldn't let me create an account for some reason. Asking me to call them. Anybody else running into the same issue?

    I did previously and had to wait until a weekday to talk to someone. It was a huge pain. Fuck those agencies.

    Fuck those companies, they'd prefer that you thought of them as agencies because it makes them appear to be at least affiliated with the government.

    They're not, they are private companies through and through

    Are you proxying or using a VPN to access their site. I often see IP blocks, even if that proxy is a simple socks proxy to a VPS i own. Many VPS subnets are blocked/restricted wholesale, as are many of the big VPN endpoint ips.
