I froze my TWN a year ago and got confirmation from them stating it was frozen. I just went to check mine AND IT WASN'T FROZEN. No where does it state it's frozen on the report and has both my employers on it... Active.

Someone should tell them they can report Equifax for this shit,
@DataGeek(2J) I think you mentioned before who you can report Equifax too for stuff like this right?

I think it’s the CFPB but I’m not sure. The Fair Credit Reporting Act is the law that they are violating here.

@totaldev we need to make some kind of announcement to let the people who’ve experienced this know how to report it.
Fuck Credit Bureaus

I’ve heard a lot of stories about Equifax doing this but have yet to see one truly stand up to scrutiny. While they are certainly evil enough to screw people over in this manner I don’t think this is their MO. We already advise people to check their TWN regularly. I don’t think this story changes anything.
What we really need to do is get the word out about these guys to the normie community so monogamists realize what a gross violation of privacy is going on and start freezing too. Then HR won’t assume anyone with a frozen TWN is a likely OE.

Looks like we all need to make the same reddit posts in all work subreddits lol

Make it some convoluted story about how your mortgage loan was denied because your TWN didn't have enough work history.
Even though you make 150k a year.
