Thank you for the numbers…
These websites are not helpful for someone who need to talk to a person. My daughter is in New York with on phone, her wallet was stolen and I need her credit alert on. No help!
I’m sorry to hear about your daughter’s wallet being stolen, Joyce. You should probably be contacting her creditors rather than the credit bureaus.
It is very deceiving when you list phone numbers for a credit bureau and what you get when you call is “The Fair Credit Bureau” who wants to sell you some fraud protection for all three agencies before you even know if you need it. This is what happened when calling the first number you have listed for Experian. My general question was never answered. People should know who they are calling!
Deceiving on who’s part? We have no relationship with these companies and have simply tracked down the numbers for your convenience. Contrary to what many people think, credit bureaus ARE companies. So it wouldn’t surprise me if they tried to sell you something. If you have a better number for Experian, then by all means, please share it here and we’ll update our numbers accordingly. Otherwise, you can click on their logo to visit their website directly, an see if you can find another way to contact them regarding your specific issue.
Best of luck.
