Have fun trying to get it unfrozen. I work for a financial services company. Every time I speak with someone about unfreezing their credit, I laugh and tell them "good luck but I can't open a new account for you until your credit is unfrozen. I understand you froze it for identity protection but your credit is frozen. You told the financial companies to not open any new accounts, even for yourself. There's nothing I can do for you right now".

Why? Is it really that hard getting it unfrozen?

You just told the credit agencies that there's fraud on your account but now need just a one time exception to break the freeze. Just think about that from the agency's position.
