Equifax, the company that got hacked, let me unfreeze it discouragingly easily
My wife and I just went through this due to a recent identity theft incident. Our experience in setting up a freeze with Equifax was the opposite of ours. My wife (and she's the financial manager of the house!) actually got refused by their online tool, and we had to call up and go through it all again with a human.
- pzxc 9y agoThe fact that you had difficulty freezing your credit, and the person your replied to found it discouragingly easy to UN-freeze their credit, does not bode well for Equifax in either case.
- karmelapple 9y agoSame here. Should have mentioned that both freezing and unfreezing ended up needing to be done over the phone.
