    I did not know RMA is affiliated with Equifax. I have 3 accounts with RMA and they are giving me a butt of a time. These accounts for me have been confusing.

    This is how they are listed on my equifax:
    RMA 800-477-1827
    RMA 888-538-8338

    On my experian it is listed as
    2200 S Busse RD
    MT Prospect, IL 60056

    Where did the affliation proof come from???? That information would be greatly appreciated just a little more ammunition for me.


    Thx inadvance ...hope I did not ramble tooo much.

    "ATLANTA, October 19, 2000 â?? As part of a continued strategy to concentrate the focus of each of its two core businesses, Equifax (NYSE: EFX) today announced it has sold its collection services business, Equifax Risk Management Services (ERMS), in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The U.S. operation, headquartered in Atlanta with 1700 employees in 13 locations, has become part of Risk Management Alternatives Parent, Inc. (RMA), also headquartered in Atlanta. ERMS operations in Canada with 500 employees and in the UK with 150 employees have been purchased by IntelliRisk Management Corporation (IRMC) of Columbus, Ohio."

    Okay, they are not *affiliated* with Eq, but RMA bought Eq's collection agency. That's enough for Eq to be bias when investigating an RMA account.

    Oh great.... I woke up this morning to RMA on my Equifax report.

    Appears that's Providian's response to my disputes with the CRA's.....
