I also tried to freeze my credit and their website required me to put something in the mail. I did, including sending copies of various documents, and never got any response. I have the same issue with one of the credit reporting bureaus. They refuse to give me my legally required free credit report despite multiple attempts and mailings.
- colejohnson66 7y agoIANAL and I have not tried this, but have heard of it working: would sending a letter threatening a lawsuit get their attention?
- whamlastxmas 7y agoI would have to get an actual lawyer with a lawyer's letterhead for them to care, probably. I don't really want to spend hundreds of dollars to get my free credit report.
- colejohnson66 7y agoWould you still need a lawyer if you went to small claims court? Or would that be extortion?
- whamlastxmas 7y agoI don't have damages to sue for.

- whamlastxmas 7y agoYep I use that one
