- laweijfmvo 3y agoGood tip! It's awful what this entails: 1) Creating accounts with the major credit reporters, presumably subject to hacks or social engineering 2) Accounts that require answering an easily guessed "secret question" 3) Password "rules" that restrict both the length and special characters of your password 4) After all that, creating the account results in a "Congratulation!" NOT FROZEN account. You have to go through an extra step to actually feeze it. 5) "Sorry, we can't freeze your account right now!"
- vlod 3y agoYeah... it's a complete PITA. I also had the 'we can't freeze right now' and it took a few days of verification and eventually having to call them to get it all sorted. My reasoning is it's better to do this before a bad person has your account rather than during.
