Complaint narrative:
SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THESE XXXX CREDIT AGENCIES!!!!!!!!! 

My wife and I are moving for work, to help the XXXX economy, but of course, because we can't have our credit out there, at risk, with the scumbag credit agencies being careless with our information, we keep it frozen. 

Today we needed to lift those freezes -- XXXX people at XXXX agencies -- to work on preapproval for financing for a new home. We are SUPPOSED to be able to do this instantaneously online. We are SUPPOSED to be able to self-serve. 

So XXXX our shock to consult the little spreadsheet with all the usernames and passwords we only look at on occasions such as this, just to find that : XXXX ) In the time since we last logged in ( maybe 2019, when we bought vehicles? ), not only have ALL THREE of these pigfucking scumbag criminal outfits changed the names of the XXXX products they hide their LEGALLY XXXX MANDATED service behind so they're more difficult to find, but after we found the right pages : XXXX ) At least XXXX of them ( Transunion and XXXX ) have either changed or deleted our login information. We now don't have accounts? But also can't start new accounts with OUR OWN XXXX EMAIL ADDRESSES -- because they've been taken by other account holders? THOSE ACCOUNT HOLDERS ARE XXXX!!! THOSE ARE OLD ACCOUNTS!!!!! NOBODY ELSE HAS OUR XXXX XXXX EMAIL ADDRESSES!!! WE are the other account holders. THIS IS XXXX RIDICULOUS!!!!! WHAT THE XXXX ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT THIS!!! 

I called the XXXX at Transunion to express my displeasure. The subliterates have an even more imbecilic automated system that I can only believe willfully offers you incorrect answers to keep you from ever connecting to any of the morons who work for them. After I was disconnected twice by this system, I was finally sent a link by XXXX  to supposedly talk to a person, whereupon I was disconnected, and I also found that the link didn't lead anywhere except a XXXX page. 

Meanwhile, as we try to get back into our XXXX accounts, we have been told.. .for hours now.. .that " service is temporarily unavailable. '' This is beyond ridiculous. It is also illegal. We are entitled to legal recourse to manage how these XXXX criminals manage XXXX identifying information, and these degenerates are flauting the law and complying with neither the letter nor the spirit of the FCRA ( as. XXXX. USUAL!! ). Their systems have to be up and working. I am entitled to get a person to fix my account if THEY XXXX it up. This is the bare minimum I should be able to expect of them. 

These idiots are clearly going out of their way to impede the ability of customers to force them to perform the XXXX useful XXXX function they supposedly exist for. YOU will have to do something about them.
