5?..i only know of TransUnion, Experian and Equifax. And yes, I have all 3 locked all the time and unlock them (it does cost me) if I need to apply for something.

She. Her name is Paige.

I believe "they" are trans? It was rather nebulous of an article.

The other two (smaller) credit agencies are:
1) Innovis
2) Chex System

Some reading material:

Before applying for anything, find out what credit agency they refer to and 'only' unfreeze that one (I guess your already doing this).
