If you sent a request in the past to a credit bureau (I believe it was enough to send it to anyone to get effective at all three but I might be wrong) requesting not to disclose your credit report to potential creditors to get this block lift is certainly the first step.
Not sure if it applies to anyone or not but my TransUnion credit report contains explicit information when I requested this block and when it expires - so just review this info and decide whether it's in line with your current wishes
