2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

Having to deal with this inevitable shitshow is the only reason I haven't done this yet. Every interaction I've ever had with these two companies has been a dumpster fire.
It was easy for me. I was able to do all three online with no issues. Just offering some anecdotal evidence to offset one other persons story.
Trying now. So far,
Equifax website logged in fine but I got sidetracked by something else so it timed me out. Try to login again and it gives me a blank page. Disabled ad blockers, cleared cookies, closed browser etc.. Same thing.
Experian website says my email doesn't exist (an email I previously setup specifically for Experian). Ok submit lost password form using phone number and social.. It says to enter the code texted to the same number which they're showing as existing.. Never get the code. Resent code. Never get the code. Click "sign in another way", taken back to original login page.
TransUnion absolutely flawless.
Now I have to go slide my cock back into the blender which is Equifax and Experian in hopes I can access my own information before a hacker does. I'd say it's 50:50 odds on that.
Edit:
Tried Experian "forgot username" option. It asks for date of birth and full social. Says the shit doesn't match! How in the actual fuck?
