Small rant: Perhaps I’m getting old and cynical, but the entire process through their sites feels a lil sketchy lol

Sure, it requires the basics, along with your SSN and cellphone to receive a text confirmation. Can’t just be me, right?

Anyways, thanks for answering my crazy questions due to my lack of faith in the safety of the internet in the days of SEO’s. 🤣

    I’m curious which credit agency you had trouble with. The big 4 can all be done online, instantly. Transunion, Experian, Equifax, and Innovis.

    Just last month I was signing up for a new bank account and had to unfreeze my credit to get it done. I turned it off, signed up, turned it back on. All within a few minutes.

      I don’t recall honestly but it wasn’t working. Either way, be careful because you’re literally at their mercy.
