For those looking to freeze their credit reporting data this weekend, you may find it pathetically interesting to note that the scheme Equifax uses to generate the PIN for you to thaw the freeze is, I kid you not, the date and time your freeze request transaction was processed:  IE,  MMDDYYHHMM.    

You can't make this stuff up.     --rick
