I find this odd. I was able to freeze at all three agencies, on line, and within a few minutes. Experian was the first one I tried. This was back around Sept. 9th, so maybe things have gotten hectic and they've tried to slow things down. Regardless, I never had to give any of the documentation you mention. Your post sounds like you had an identity theft incident, or were claiming one, and that's why the docs were requested. If you claimed ID theft to avoid the freeze fee, this may be why the hoops were set up.
