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?

I know Ticketmaster just sent out millions of "sorry we got hacked, freeze your credit for free with this code" letters. Maybe they're struggling to keep up with demand.

Mine was for credit monitoring. You should be able to freeze your credit for free at any time
