An update: I got things fixed - thought it was because of my Discover card. BUT - I had only signed up for monitoring on Transunion. So it was going fine - for ONE day.... then I got stupid and thought that perhaps that was the sum of the problem. Nope. I added the full monitoring and boom - back to the problem again.
I'm going to call them today and get them to cancel the full monitoring (for all three bureaus) - and this is the 4th time in 8 days. I'll just keep using the basic service and deal directly with the other guys.
I'd scream, but that would attract too much attention right now....
