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?
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.
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..)
