Has anyone recently tried to unfreeze your credit at Experian? Have they not made it very tedious to go about with this? They have a very similar paid product that they seem to push hard. I do not see such an overhanded approach at the other two bureaus (tarnsunion and equifax) yet. The following seem to be the direct link to unfreeze Vs their paid product they insist on you signing up

Re: temporary unfreeze via Experian portal
I recently unfroze twice with them. Online did not work at all for me. It never has. (One time, even spent a lot of time with "customer" support).
Recently, I did it twice by phone (automated) and had no problem.
(I hate that crappy company for a variety of reasons, but this isn't the place to vent)

Unfroze all three very recently for a transaction. Did it online. No problems. Very quick.
