I had a freeze on credit reports from all 3 credit bureaus. You need to write them a letter requesting this. I had to pay $10 to each credit bureau for the freeze.

Easiest online and can be done on day you want unfrozen.
I chose to unfreeze Equifax for Chase. When I applied online, I did not receive instant approval so within an hour I called Chase Reconsideration line. When asked if CSR was able to pull my credit report, he said "no". I asked him to pull up Equifax which he did and then approved my Explorer Card.
