Product: Credit reporting or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Problem with fraud alerts or security freezes — 
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.

Complaint narrative:
Greetings : I'm temporarily in XXXX XXXX and have been for the last 2 years. Since finding out about the XXXX XXXX XXXX breach I've been trying to figure out how to freeze my accounts at XXXX, Experian and XXXX. In the case of Experian, I'm unable to sign in or create an account due to XXXX XXXXXXXX ' while both XXXX and XXXX are requiring U.S. details. The last straw was when I tried calling Experian and couldn't speak to an agent because the automated system wouldn't allow it. Unfortunately, they didn't have expat issues listed and when I went thru the freeze protocol was unable to provide a current U.S. zip code. I find myself vulnerable to fraud and no apparent way to freeze my accounts. The whole point of my attempt to reach them was to find out what I could provide that they would accept from me as authentication of my identity. I would like to complain about all three of these credit bureaus for not providing a way for international access - and please don't let them get away with saying they do. I live in XXXX XXXX, XXXX. not XXXX, XXXX ( XXXX, I believe ) which might have gotten me in the door of at least XXXX of them. 

I would also like to complain about the process in general. We're assigned SSNs but who owns them? I don't think I should have to go to each credit bureau individually to change the status of my SSN. I think I should be able to go into my SSA account and set it there then SSA should send my status change or the entities should request it. It would be faster, safer, more reliable and more likely to be taken advantage of by more holder of SSNs. Furthermore, if there are 220 million SSN holders then that would be the limit of attempts to change a status instead of 660 million not even including myE-Verify for more and more of us. 

Finally, if all databases were required to be encrypted to a minimum standard, and if each SSN was required to be uniquely encrypted then the hacker would have to decrypt up to 450 million SSNs that have been issued so far one at a time. So in these last two cases, I guess my complaint is about credit bureaus but the responsible entity is Congress. Dreaming, right?

BTW, I'm not angry... frustrated and mildly irked, maybe. Anxious about getting ahead of a serious problem down the line, definitely. I spent 20-25 years in IT and mastered my craft. I understand the problem but I also understand the solution.

I am very grateful for anything you can do in helping me get my freezes and also, for information about how I can unfreeze them when I get back to the States given that I will have been gone for several years. 

Best regards, XXXX
