Last year Equifax was able to generate my report but then would give me bizarre login errors when I tried to access it.  I was finally able to get them to unlock it after a few days after finding out how to contact their customer service (which for some reason is treated like a state secret).<\/p>\n<p>This year, I was again able to get my TransUnion and Experian credit reports quite easily.  Equifax on the other hand &#8220;couldn&#8217;t verify my information&#8221;, the same exact information the other two CRAs were able to verify just fine.  They gave me a PDF form to fill out and mail in.  Almost makes you wonder if they do this on purpose to try to get you to end up paying for it.<\/p>\n<p>PS To Equifax:  I paid $6 each to Experian and TransUnion to get my credit scores too.  Too bad I never got far enough to buy one from you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s that time of year again, boys and girls.
