kb9tbq Posted April 6, 2003 Report Share Posted April 6, 2003 Hey ---- I found a phone number to get free copy of Equifax credit report.Says 48 hours in the mail - and won't include scoring unless you are out of California.800-801-2055No questions asked - just give social security number; last 2 digits on date of birth; and number of physical address. Will confirm at the end of call. Nothing more to the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morrow Posted April 11, 2003 Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 Hey kb- where did you find that # anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb9tbq Posted April 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2003 Funny story with that one; being that I process mortgage credit reports here. Part of my job is to contact creditors to update old tradelines.Well the CRAs which provide the information for calling creditors - they showed this number as belonging to a dealership. When I called to verify on an individuals account; I walk right through the system and ordered him his credit report without realizing it till the end.Figures - I never did find the right phone number for the dealership; but called the bank back to let them know to tell the guy he would be receiving his credit report within a few days. lolPart of the ups & downs of the CRAs not having all their numbers straight.

morrow Posted April 12, 2003 Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 pssst...you wouldnt happen to have any other *special* phone #s, would you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb9tbq Posted April 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2003 Yes; actually I do --- but they happen to take me into out sales reps for TransUnion; CSC; and our affiliate for Experian (have to leave unnamed)...That would be like putting one engineer in a room of mechanics (the engineer might not come out alive) Engineeer being the Reps for the CRAs, lolSorry - no can do. But I do talk to them and get ideas all the time to help out when I can though. [Edit by kb9tbq on Saturday, April 12, 2003 @ 05:53 AM] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
