Equifux sucks.  Good job getting your disputes through. I've had to enlist the CFPB... just for EQ.

Re: Equifax nightmare

Equifax repeatedly does this to many consumers. They own a company/subsides eVID, and TALX with outdated data. They have been sued for purposely preventing access to consumers files. The FCRA is rather specific about not making it arduous or onerous for one to retrieve the report. As a last measure I would utilize the CFPB as they have a specific option that list "Unable to obtain my report". Its probably one of the most serious topics and infractions the CFPB investigates. I had this happen with EWS, Shortly after I was FEDEX my copy, and followed up via the CFPB to ensure I received my report. I suggest you do the same, at the very least to articulate that this is an ongoing issue. Again the CFPB and USDOJ compile a list of infractions. When they become an incessant complaint, as we saw with Telecheck, the CFPB moves quickly for injunction relief usually in the D.C circuit court.
