    Looking at my spouse's report from TU - and there was a hard inquiry from Equifax..... why would they pull the report from another agency?? Any insights??

    Thanks,
    Ozzy.

    If I'm not mistaken I think Equifax has their own collection agency. That could be why.

    But we've never had anything in collection. This inquiry was in 2/00, so it's gonna come off soon anyway, but it's still bizarre to me.

    How does it read? Equifax has several subsidiaries that do investigations for employment, insurance, etc.

    Dont take anything I say personal. You can not detect the tone of my voice from a computer monitor so you shouldnt think I was inferring it was a dumb question. I try to help NOT hurt people's feelings.....Good luck!

    I think Equifax sold their collection business to Risk Management Alternatives about a year and a half ago. It might be a inquiry from their collection agency.

    That still wouldn't make sense - we have never had anything in collection.

    I guess we'll just have to dispute that little bugger!

    Thanks!

    R U Sure there isn't a collection on any of your reports? Have you checked with all 3 CRAs?

    Yup.... have all 6 reports on my desk now (3 for me, 3 for hubby).... and no collections at all. I disputed it though.

    Will you write to Trans Union and ask them for the address and telephone number of the party making the inquiry?
