In tonight's episode of Old Man Yells at Cloud, Paco helps his 23yo son get his credit score and a credit card.

Experian insists on a selfie and copy of an official ID just to give you your credit score. They insist it is because they can't identify you (kinda makes sense, but I hate it).

And then they say "you consent to all manner of marketing bullshit from us, but you can contact us to withdraw consent". And the link to "contact us" didn't work.

Grrrrr

@paco

all three are that bad, though experian is definitely the most "open" about wanting to bombard you with shit.

all three do offer credit lock at no charge, all three will try to trick you into getting an annual membership with fees but you don't need it.

the whole credit check/rating industry is slimy and racist...
