Equifax Security Freeze?

OK I'm very confused about this situation. 

 

First I tried to get a credit limit increase on  my Capital One account.  Simple right?  Well they called back and said their was a security freeze on my Equifax report.  Told her no problem I'd call back after I get it taken care of. 

 

I went to Equifax's website and attempted to remove the security freeze, but it says there isnt one and the only option is to place one on my account. 

 

I dont know where to go from here, how is that even possible?

I tried their phone number but they keep asking for a confirmation number for a dispute (which I dont have). 

 

Is there a different number to try for them?

 

Thanks for your response!

Mods, move/delete this if you need to. I think it's public knowledge.
