Can't Get EQ Report

MasonK — Sat, 23 May 2020 00:05:32 GMT

I've been trying to pull my free annual credit report for EQ since February (last attempt prior to that was 2018) and it said they couldn't complete my order and I'd have to mail them a request. I just blew it off because I figured that I entered something wrong and didn't try again.

Now that I've learned that ACR.com is offering free weekly reports I decided to pull all three; EX and TU went through fine; EQ, however, coughed up the same error as before. I know my answers were correct this time unless their information is waaaaay off.

Anyone else have any issues pulling reports?

Same, under the "Get my free credit reports". Yet I can sign into my individual account and access with no problem.
Problem started after I did two things, cleared out computer junk, and changed browsers.

I hadn't even thought about a different browser. Tried Chrome; still didn't work.

There have been a lot of reports from forum members that EQ asks some really strange verification questions.

It happened to me last year. Now I just use https://my.equifax.com . It's free with ~~weekly~~ [EDIT: 6 per year] full reports.

They do ask strange questions. The first one out of the gate was something like "Which of these people live in St. Paul?" and none of them were me, nor anyone I know, nor do I live in St. Paul.

By the way- I've been meaning to tell you for years how much I like the CRADIS graphic. I assume that's your own design?

Thank you! Yes, it is.

It evolved over time from a simple table format, to having a Battlestar Galactica theme (DRADIS:Direction, RAnge, and DIStance), and now includes references to HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey and Joshua running on WOPR from the 80's movie Wargames.

I must find a way to get SPACE:1999 and Logan's Run in there.

You get an unlimited number of free weekly reports there? I get 6 free reports in a year. Any idea how you got a better deal?

My mistake. Yes, it's 6 a year with myEquifax.

Bummer. I was hoping I might get access to a super secret offer code or something. 🙂

I’ve had the same problem with EQ. I’m not sending them my info because they don’t know how to take care of your info.

I have pulled mine several times and EQ is always the one with an issue. Good Luck @MasonK

Some recent info from someone who sent in the required documents by mail:

[05/19/2020]: "Update: the EQ report arrived in the mail today. So that took a total of 13 days, mid-pandemic." (Permalink)

That's much better than I expected considering everything going on now. Last year I did this and the report came back within 10 days of mailing it.

Same here...Equifax is the only one I can't pull up. I will say this, everyone should be taking advantage of taking a look at these. You can see all of the creditors that are sniffing around your reports. They are likely trying to see if you have any credit score changes, high balances, etc. Nearly all of my lenders had pulled a report on me in the last 30 days. Thankfully there are no shockers up there. I paid off some items as I figured this may happen with the economy as it is.

Glad you called this topic out! Same problem! Went through the questions that did NOT have the right answers to choose from and I so responded. Equifax failed me and stated I must submit documentations to them via snail mail. This has gone on with them for several years and I do not know where they pull their verification information but it is INCORRECT!

What's to say ... they have always been a pain to work with! However, I have found dealing with certified mail and paper documentation I was able to accurately and fully clean up my credit report. Ever so slow but it did work.

This is weird because I had the same issue on myannualreport but it was with experian. I got my TU and EQ fine even though I couldn't log on to myequifax. But, yes free weekly reports because of the pandemic. I was pleasantly surprised.
