Okay, blocked of time to freeze my credit on Monday.
- e40 9y agoYou can do it online now.
- FireBeyond 9y agoAs of Friday, all three credit services online freeze processes were "broken" due to demand (and/or other crappiness).
- e40 9y agoI completed all three yesterday. Late in the day, but it worked.
- matheweis 9y agoThe pin code they will give you to unlock it is the date/time stamp of when you locked it. And, if you happen to forget it, they will unlock it if you can cough up the very information supposedly compromised in the equifax leak anyway.
- throwaway613834 9y ago> And, if you happen to forget it, they will unlock it if you can cough up the very information supposedly compromised in the equifax leak anyway. Wait, what? Any more reading on this?
- interlocutor 9y agoHere's the link to "obtain your forgotten or misplaced PIN". https://www.experian.com/ncaconline/freezepin https://www.experian.com/ncaconline/freezepin And it says, "provide your e-mail address for faster delivery of your results."
- throwaway613834 9y agoWow. This whole thing looks like a massive joke. Thanks for the link!
- Flammy 9y agoFYI the latest Equifax press release (where it was announced 2 executives were being dismissed) had a small bulletpoint towards the end which said that pins would be randomly generated. Don't know if that change is live, however.
- pwg 9y agoIt is live. I froze mine last night after learning that equifax was waiving the fees (i.e., free) and the pin they returned was no longer the date/time of the freeze. It 'looked' reasonably random-ish, but looks can be deceiving in regards to randomness (http://dilbert.com/strip/2001-10-25 http://dilbert.com/strip/2001-10-25).
