Unable to get credit report/credit score Problem getting report or credit score Colorado

This complaint is about the temporary lifting of a Security Freeze at TransUnion. In -/-/- I established a security freeze at all - bureaus. They have never been lifted. I have been very physically - for over 3 years and require - care. I especially need help to deal with matters such as this. In -/-/- the - - - - - CO destroyed 100 % of my home and belongings. Now my husband and I are trying to start rebuilding and as such need to obtain a construction loan. Using - and - web sites my husband was easily able to temporarily lift using my PINs for a date range starting now their freezes. The same attempt at TransUnion failed with a system error ''. My husband has spent over - hours on the phone over 2 days with more than - different TransUnion people trying to get this fixed. Agents he reached were in - and told him they ca n't fix the problem. They repeatedly attempted to transfer him to


Special Handling Supervisor in the USA '' and it only sends him to a dial tone. He has gone thru this at least 5 times today. Each time he has to start all over with each agent with a litany of authentication and problem description. Finally he reached - ( she said she was a USA Special Handling Supervisor ). She too could not solve the problem but could send some kind of paper document ( she said she had to print it ) to a Maintenance Dept '' and that they will take 7 to 10 business days to figure out what is wrong and hopefully '' fix the problem. This is no assurance that the problem will even be fixed nor will they tell us so in a timely manner. In the mean time we are stuck. When congress allowed the credit bureaus to create the Security Freeze process it was in response in part to the bureau abuses. Taxpayers and congress were promised that this would solve problems and be processed timely. Well, we needed to temporarily lift the Security Freeze NOW and TransUnion and their broken system that allowed a problem to get into my FROZEN credit file in the first place CAN NOT in a timely fashion make this happen. TransUnion has made it impossible for taxpayers to reach them in effective ways and also people who can timely fix problems with their system. They advertise and have sold a bill of goods to everyone that managing Security Freezes and Thaws could be done instantly on the web. This is clearly not so with TransUnion. This is causing delays at a critical time while we are already overwhelmed with problems. I repeat, TransUnion 's system will not allow us to temporarily lift a Security Freeze even though I have my proper PIN. You regulators need to take a closer look at TransUnion and why all of this is happening. Consumers are helpless to fix this and TU thwarts consumer 's efforts at every step.
