After obtaining free annual reports for XXXX and XXXX, I was inexplicably locked out of the request process for Experian before the identity verification process started. I called the number listed for Experian on the lockout page, but was unable to get past their automated system. I found another customer service number for Experian, called it, got through to a human, who collected all my personal information, but me on hold for " two minutes. '' After I had remained on hold for about two minutes, a recording advised me that my call would be disconnected, which it then was.
