EDIT: I recommend at the least issuing a fraud alert to the 3 credit companies. This will require them to obtain additional verification before your credit can be accessed.

I had to do this years ago and it was such a huge pain in the arse. They lie when they say this. If you are trying to buy a car/get credit some things can just block whomever and not make them obtain more info. I wouldn't do this again! It took me 8 months of calling to get two of the agencies to REPORT MY CREDIT score and report; because of this. It was a nightmare.

All 3 are corrupt BS. I say they all change or just have one agency. It is nothing but a big scheme to get people to buy credit monitoring. No one should have to pay to see their credit scores.
