I verified my identification but continued to get stuck in the 2001 error loop. I followed their vague steps for troubleshooting to get past that error to no avail. This website needs to be coded better.
Extremely frustrating experience that took up most of a day to complete. The rep I talked with could not hear me and I could not understand him most of the time. I consider myself to be computer-literate but this really tested all my skills and patience. If I had to do it again I would allow myself at least a half day to get thru the process.
