We’re sorry

A condition exists that prevents Experian from being able to accept your request at this time.

has anyone figured out what throws that error or a fix short of snail mail which is dangerous to send socials through?

I was curious, so I did a quick search. One explanation was that Experian is experiencing difficulties verifying your identity online. The recommendation was to disable your ad blocker, clear your cookies, or attempt the process again using a different browser.

I haven’t requested a free credit report in years. I used to use the site www.annualcreditreport.com. It used to be that you could only get one report per agency per year. So you would stagger requests to one every 4 months from a different big three reporting service. Apparently free reports are given much more frequently, now.
