Yep...I've had that for years since I got victimized by identity theft.
But of course, Equifax was the one service that screwed me (probably in violation of state law) as far as the free lock/unlock thing.
It costs, on average, $30 to freeze your credit ($10 each major service....there's actually a fourth I forget). $10 for unlocking or temporarily unlocking seems like stealing, to me.
And WTF with people acting like your information would be safer with the govt or these services shouldn't exist?!?
