I have a freeze on my credit report due to someone drawing unemployment with my information (got a 1099-G)
I just signed up. No problems.
Hmmm. Maybe the verification procedures changed and I just assumed a temporary credit thaw was necessary. If a thaw is necessary it is Equifax. I created an online SS account but have to wait 15-20 days to receive a snail mail letter to finish setting up the account.
