I'm trying to apply for a Chase Sapphire preferred but have a credit report freeze on all the bureaus. I got a previous letter from Chase saying I need to thaw with Experian. But, of course, I don't have the pin. Experian's website took me through the pin request form only to tell me it's unable to "honor" my request.
I called, as their website said to do, and was treated to a fembot droning on about writing letters to Experian. Fun.
Does anyone know the best way to get my pin/lift the freeze? They said I need to write them a letter but I'm located abroad and it will take literally weeks and outlandish effort to get that done. Is there not a better way? Help.
