Equifax phone number

[Anonymous]

I've been looking for the direct phone number to speak to a CSR at Equifax.  Looking through posts, I see MULTIPLE different numbers given. It's kind of scary, b/c I'll be giving all my private info to whoever I reach. Why so many different numbers? How do I know which one is the right one?

You don't - that's a risk you take. Theoretically you could use a reverse phone look-up.

I spoke with a CSR rep at Equifax yesterday as a follow-up to an online update of my personal info. The # is: 866-349-5186. It is an automated system that you have to navigate through before speaking to a CSR.

P.S. If you think a phone discussion makes you nervous, step #2 of an online dispute specifies printing out the dispute summary and faxing a copy of it along with a copy of: driver's license, W2 statement/SS card, and utility bill to a fax # listed on the dispute summary.

Alternatively you can mail in the info - but that delays the process.

Just tried it myself when I replied to your other thread.  The number isn't displayed until you log in.

866-349-5191 is the number for their automated ordering system.
