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 know Ticketmaster just sent out millions of “sorry we got hacked, freeze your credit for free with this code” letters. Maybe they’re struggling to keep up with demand.
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.

Mine was for credit monitoring. You should be able to freeze your credit for free at any time
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

Yeah I use VPN. Maybe I should jump to random countries or maybe turn it off.
That will 100% cause it with the 3 larger creditors (where fraud targeting is likely one of the highest…)
Happened to me, too. Just tried again a couple days later and it worked. Dunno why.
Were you on vpn by any chance?
Nope.
Yes. They’ll want to send you a letter with a passcode via the post office because of the breaches.
