Equifax was pretty painless... about 5 minutes going through automated menus and now they will monitor my credit for 6 years I think.
TransUnion I was on hold for about 30 minutes and I decided to give up. Maybe I'll try calling right when the office opens.

Ditto here. Thanks for posting this information. It was a little bit hard to hear the representative over the phone and missed a couple of the agencies or institutions to contact.
Damn.
