Yeah, I just tried to add this via the Equifax link, entered all of my info, and got an instant "the system is down" error.

Edit: Experian displays a grey screen that says "Loading"

Edit: TransUnion requires I set up an account.

TransUnion broke on the second to last step of setting up an account for me. "Technical difficulties" message.

I got the error as well. Refreshing resubmitted the form and eventually worked.

For what it's worth, the Equifax link is now working and I was able to place the alert. Experian still is displaying the grey "Loading" page.
