Experian is correct. For the others I think it was
 8883973742: Experian
: 8004377179: Equifax
: 8009198800: Transunion

They told me the same thing, but they agreed to try and open a dispute. Tell them you know it's from amex but you want to dispute them anyway.

what was the outcome of the dispute?

You are also entitled to a free report when you are denied credit. So if you've signed up for a credit card recently, you can get a free report.
I noticed that but signing up for a new credit card is not called 'denied credit' as you make it sound in your post. I was approved and subsequently allowed credit.. unless I misunderstand what your saying.
all this doesn't matter though, can I just call them without seeing my report and just ask if any au's are on to please remove them?

Yup. Same way you can tell.  When I called i told them what I wanted, they put me on hold and opened disputes on all my Amex AU accounts.  The first call, with experian, I made a list of all the AU accounts numbers on my experian report and started going through them. After 5-10 the woman just did them all on her own.  For TU and EQ I asked them off the bat to just dispute them all.

If the cards are in your name, you can call and ask them to add it. Otherwise, needs to be done manually.

If you're adding it to an existing account, "my cards" "add another card". For a new account "create new online account"

whoops! this thread got pushed to page 2. sry for bringing up old news.
I called TU to remove au's and the rep told me he only sees 4 cards on my report which r my primary cards! :) no au's! Question: shud I still call other 2 bureaus or can I assume that if it didn't make it to one of them then im clear??
also, by the way , all the numbers posted here for eq and exp. don't get me thru to a rep. at all. all the options are to request a report or a freeze, all on automated system! anyone else have luck with these numbers?(attn: noturbizniss: the number you posted for Experian says its an invalid number.. :o.??)

Can AU's be added without giving a SSN for each individual? and is it need for activation?

Disclaimer: I know this is somewhere on this thread but I am not going through 89 pages to find it and the search on this forum...well... lets just say its not as good as the information contained within. I wish it would be upgraded.

Personal aus can be done over the phone without ssn. Biz aus can even be done online. Cards do not need to be activated at all prior to use

Yes. Say you don't have it available now. Can be used without activation.

You don't need to go through 89 pages. Just put "SSN" in the search while in this thread & you'll no doubt get the answer.
