    TU fax number doesn't answer.

    DMB reports every now and then. The last time they showed me with almost $4,000 balance. That was accurate in May. I paid this off in June, and DMB doubled my limit. They haven't reported the changes.

    I disputed with all 3 CRA's - incorrect balance and limit. EFX and EXP continued to report but changed balance to zero. TU deleted the entry (fine with me). This week Experian and TU put it back on the way it was (eith the $4,000 balance), but say updated 09/01. Doh.

    So I faxed EXP a copy of my statement yesterday. Tried to fax to TU for 2 days now. Fax doesn't answer.

    I am ticked. All I need now is to see it on EFX. Grrrrrr!

    Hellooooooooooooo? TU????????? You reading? Turn it on. The one in PA.

    Breeze... I feel your pain. EQ ALWAYS puts my balance to 0. I dont think they verify with DMB. Doh!
    TU. Sigh!.. First they wouldnt add it and then they delete it. They deleted my auto loan. When I dispute with TU they put the balance to 0. I dont know why a creditor would even use them they are so inaccurate.

    My TU is so screwed up, they don't do their job and IF and when they do, they don't do what you've asked them to do. My Equifax is all set and Experian is OK, so what I do now is I ask any creditor if I am about to apply for credit, which bureau they check with, if they say TU I don't apply. I have 12 pages of inquiries on my TU, most of them are duplicates from about 5 months ago. Seems as if I applied for credit on 10/16/01, it gives the creditor permission to check my CR on the 16th 17th AND 18th.
    TU If you're reading DO YOUR DAMN JOB!

    Sometimes it just seems like none of them have enough sense to pour water out of a boot with the instructions printed on the heel.

    LOL

    Ugh......


    Two things I hate are busy signals and when the fax machine won't answer.....

    I can just imagine those guys walking by the machine and laughing, knowing the machine is off the hook or out of paper and we can't get through.

    Wonder what level of 'Dante's Hell' CRA employees go to?

    <grin>

    Thanks for the sympathy and chuckles. I try not to be a complainer, but........

    I set that sucker up to dial all day. No dice. They haven't turned it on. You'd think they'd all be happy not to have to open mail right now. :p

    Maybe they are afraid someone will send them an anthrax coated fax.

    Not that the current situation is anything to laugh at, but......


    My best friends mother asked him to pick her up some stamps today- but she said not to go to the Post Office to get it because of "Them Amtrax".....


    Maybe you had to be there, but it made me laugh.....

    My fax from the computer has some "DO NOT COPY" on the fax, if you want it (like the no smoking w/circle and line through it)...I SUPPOSE YOU COULD FAX ANTHRAX ON YOUR FAX...

    You might cause an electron stampede and many would be killed, trampled to death trying to escape.

    They're not answering again today. :(

    I would make a little bug like MaAfee has, and fax it when they finally turn it on, but ummmmm they're putting people in jail for hoaxes, hehe.

    I think I'll try the California number, instead of the PA.

    If it was Equifax, I'd run over there and plug it in for ya'......But the others are a little far away from me.

    Is this considered a violation? Are they making themselves unavailable? I am sure your fax machine provides a transcript of un-answered cakss, right?

    Good luck!

    I don't think they are required to have a fax number available - just an 800 number you can call. That doesn' t mean get through, LOL. Although the number given to their online subscribers has always gotten through for me so far.

    I have every single attempt listed in the fax software, LOL. and when I am not online I let it dial every 3 minutes just for the heck of it. I mean, what the heck, maybe they have it on one hour a day or something, hehe.

    Too bad it isn't Equifax...

    Amtrax mail, I guess. ;)
