The Equifax site appears broken in at least some browsers. Transunion wants me to sign up for an online account, and Experian charges a $10 fee in my state to place a freeze.

All three want to collect my name, DOB, SSN, etc. _again_ in order to sign up.

This is complete and utter BS. Credit reporting agencies are one of the greatest/worst rackets in the modern financial system.

It's almost funny, in a way. What, so I can become affected if I'm not already?
