Equifax Номер телефона оповещения о мошенничестве

When you call Equifax, you spend the first half of your call feeling like you are being talked to instead of helped. That's because almost the first five minutes of the call involve listening to recordings you cannot skip that have nothing to do with your phone call. The recording might be helpful for a few select people, but for everyone else, it is a waste of time, and I'm not sure why they don't just make them into options on the call directory. This was possibly the worst part of calling the company. 

I expect to spend time on hold, but I don't appreciate it taking me almost ten minutes to actually get to the hold line. All I wanted to do was check on the status of a dispute I had, but with a customer service agent, because I had a few facts that I wanted to add. For a company that deals with credit disputes, this shouldn't have been a complicated task. However, they turn it into a hassle for the consumer, and I don't appreciate that very much. 

When you first call, the company greets you, and then you have to listen to a long spiel about how to add a note to your file if you were financially impacted by COVID-19. This is odd because the pandemic is over, and it seems that could be removed at this point. Then you have to listen to something about privacy and the company and then another long speech about how you can go online to get answers to a lot of support questions. If I wanted to go online,, I would not have called them in person. 

Finally, I got a voice assistant who asked me to say a few words about what I needed, and while it picked up that I needed help with a dispute, it still sent me to a directory that included a lot of options to choose from. I navigated through two directories, and then it gave me the option to talk to a customer service agent by pressing 0, but first, I had to give the robot a lot of personal information. I wonder just how carefully they keep that information since I could have been calling from any public location. Finally, I got to a hold line, but then I waited almost half an hour to talk to someone. The agent was able to help me, but I feel like the entire process could have been better.
