Transunion fraud scare

So I woke up this morning around 6 a.m. and, as usual, checked my email.  I see two emails from Transunion, the first at 2:35 a.m. saying my report has been unlocked, and the second two minutes later saying my report has been locked.  Now, I'm used to seeing these emails, becuase I sometimes lock and unlock my TU report, but this time it wasn't me.  I was sleeping at 2:35 a.m., so it couldn't be me.

 

Well, imagine my panic and rude awakening this morning.  Someone's in my TU account!!!

First I check Capital One to see if there's been any inquiries.  None. Okay that's good.  Next I log into my TU account to change the password.  Upon attempting to change the PW, the TU system instead locks me out of the system.  Now I can't do anything but call.  So I call.  40 minutes later, I get a surprisingly nice and helful phone rep with an excellent command of the English language.  That's good -- it looks like my morning is turning around.  She proceeds to tell me there was a system glitch and that TU is investigating.  There's nothing to worry about.  She helps me log back into my account, and after a quick 3-5 minute call, we're done.  My morning routine can continue, minus 45 minutes.

 

So I got a little shot of adrenaline this morning with my usual caffeinated beverage compliments of a TU system glitch.

 

Good times.

Re: Transunion fraud scare

Something is happening at TransUnion i just got this same issue. Checked my email and at 2pm today my credit was unfrozen and then frozen again about 5 minutes later. I'm getting this feeling like there may be another data breach. Check your email's and be sure your account is frozen. I'd recommend a pw change to be safe
