Fix Credit Report Errors Online
Equifax recommends going online to fix credit report errors or to simply perform a credit check review of entries that affect scores.
According to Equifax, most Americans still do not go online to update information or to place a fraud alert on their credit reports, despite the internet's ever growing popularity.
Equifax recommends using the internet as a primary channel to obtain and update their critically important Equifax credit information, suggesting that it is safe and easier. While phone and mail channels continue to be available, Equifax says the internet provides consumers with immediate access to the services they need to get answers quickly.
Andy Bodea, Senior Vice President, Global Operations, said: "Many people do not realize how convenient the Internet is for inquiring about the information contained in their Equifax credit report. Using the Internet is a fast and easy to use tool, and can be used whenever the time is convenient for you. The whole process can be managed online - getting instant answers to your questions without having to wait for the mail."
The following are online links that consumers can use today with Equifax:
Inquire about information in an Equifax credit report at investigate.equifax.com. Equifax enhanced the investigation process by providing automatic email notification and online access to investigation results.
Initiate an Initial 90 day Fraud Alert or Active Duty Military Alert at fraudalerts.equifax.com. Consumers who suspect that they are, or about to become, a victim of fraud now can request an Initial Fraud Alert be placed on their Equifax credit report easily online. This site will also allow consumers to request an Active Duty Alert online. A successful online alert request is automatically sent to the other two nationwide credit reporting agencies. Confirmation is sent to the consumer automatically via email with easy online access to a free Equifax credit report.
Access your Equifax Credit Report at equifax.com/fcra. Consumers who are denied credit or are entitled to a free or discounted credit report under state law now can obtain their Equifax credit report easily online. Other consumers may obtain a free copy of their credit report once a year from all three national credit reporting companies at annualcreditreport.com.
These online services as well as information about accessing services by phone or mail are available at equifax.com/answers/en_efx.
Equifax also offers credit monitoring products which will alert members to key changes in their credit report that could signal potential identity theft and serve as an early warning detection system. A new feature of the credit monitoring products is Equifax Credit Report Control which allows members to lock and unlock their Equifax credit report easily online as often as they wish for one low monthly fee. As part of its commitment to educate consumers about credit management and identity theft protection, Equifax also provides a wealth of information and resources at learn.equifax.com.
