In response to the attack, Equifax set up a website — www. If users end up on the wrong site, they could end up leaking the data they're already concerned was stolen.
Today, Equifax ended up creating that exact situation on Twitter. In a tweet to a potential victim, the credit bureau linked to securityequifax It was an easy mistake to make, but the result sent the user to a site with no connection to Equifax itself.

Strangely enough you don't even need to provide a copy of an ID for this, but you do need it over the phone. But if you want to get a hard inquiry removed, call the company that made the inquiry.
They can tell you what the status is and help out much better. Equifax has no regard for the consumer. It's time to get this stupid system overhauled. I paid for a family plan and all SS were frozen. How was my son able to get credit card when I am paying for this service? Cancelled in April I called company in August , they said I would get my refund in days. Today is , just checked my statement and no fecund, and a new charge for Sept.
Finished calling Equifax and the response is that, "We will send your refund days. Wtf smh. I called my credit card customer service line and everything is fine on their end. Like this would only happen to me. My score was I don't understand. My score should have went up to almost ?

These people dropped my score 35 points for using one credit card! This is totally uncalled for. They should not be in the people business, they can destroy lives too easily.
