Experian Credit Agency
June 26, 2023

After going through ID me to work with a State agency, I was unable to complete the same process (not ID me process) with Experian. Unfortunately, I will have to go through a mail in verification process with them to resolve my issue. It would have been nice to refer them to, or use ID me to resolve the verification process just so I could look at my credit report.

Dissatisfied
July 26, 2023

ID Me is a long and tedious application. I gave up and decided to speak with a live agent. I just waited on hold. Preferred it that way

Confusing
July 26, 2023

Not a novice with online security procedures. The IRS and i-now use this to "safeguard" our tax account information. It isn't evident, not transparent, involved. I am trying to sign back in, and it's asking about blue tooth/USB ports. None of those were used in the setup of the account.

ID.me Review
June 26, 2023

It was kinda easy, and not near as nerve wracking as it used to be. It wasn't a long drawn out process that left me frustrated and drained so badly I want to cry or already am. So, I really appreciate it very much. But I also like to talk to an actual human being.

Too many steps!
July 26, 2023

I personally felt from start to finish there were way too many steps involved in this process. I understand the need for security and being safe, but some of the questions were excessive.
