Does anyone know a number at Equifax where you can dispute items? I can only find an annoying automated line.
Use the number on your report.... If you don't have an EQF report order one. You will have to have the report/file# (NOT your SS#) before they will allow you to talk with a rep....
If you are not reaching an Equifax representative, I would complain to the FTC....remember this http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2000/01/busysignal.htm in part...."To provide consumers the ability to more easily resolve inaccuracies in their credit reports quickly, Congress amended the FCRA -- effective Sept. 30, 1997 -- to require Experian, Equifax and Trans Union to provide consumers who receive a copy of their credit report with a toll-free telephone number at which personnel are accessible to consumers during normal business hours."
Equifax 1-800-685-1111 old? - must have equifax credit report number as of 7/13/01 1-800-375-4989 TransUnion 1-800-916-8800 (consumer relations) or 1-800-888-4213 (automated line to request credit reports) Experian 1-800-311-4769 (Not sure about this one) 1 800 787 6864 , M - F 8am to 7pm in your time zone fax numbers EFX = 1-888-345-9399; as of 9/17/01 1-888.729.0083 TU = 714-447-6032 (CA), 610-546-4605 (PA) EXPERIAN = 972-390-3974, 877-454-1010
If the number on your report is automated... you may be serviced by an affiliate... I don't have to work with them, but understand you may not be able to use the national people.... GOOD LUCK! Keep us updated.
