In November I tried to pull my credit report via [annualcreditreport.com](http://annualcreditreport.com). I was able to view my Transunion and Experion report but Exuifax gave a message that they were unable to verify enough info to give me my report online. I followed their procedure to get the report via mail. I mailed a copy of drivers license, recent W-2, copy of social security card etc… Its 2 months later and I have not received anything from Equifax. The Equifax website will not provide a phone number unless I sign up as an ‘Equifax member’ for $16.95 per month. I found a number to place a fraud alert on my account and called it thinking I may speak to someone and explain my situation and they would provide a number. But that number is all automated, you never speak to a human. I need to talk to a human. Im concerned that I mailed a copy of everything that identifies me and i have no clue if they received it or if it’s floating in oblivion somewhere. I also want to know whats on their report that’s preventing me from viewing it online. Does anyone know how I can contact these people by phone? ---
