Experian: 800-493-1058 With A Report Number

Experian: 714-830-7000 (Without A Report Number) Call and Press 0. You will get connected to the switchboard operator.

That's the only way you'll be able to get through to a live person at Experian without a Report Number.

Equifax: 800-846-5279

TransUnion: 800-916-8800

why do you speak in past tense?

He is on hiatus. I'm not sure when he will be back. Fortunately many of us have his contact info.

wow how did you became a part of his crew? I guess you had to have loads of knowledge even before
p.s. Maybe you try getting him in ddf why shouldn't we have the same knowledge in credit as we have in rewards 
Do u have any different idea for a signature?

He wouldn't post here. He definitely would never post on MF.

You guys can settle for the many CB members that post here or at least read CB.

Like I said, many of the credit issues I have corrected here are newbie topics over there. I hope some eyes have been opened.

It seems like the model there is a lot more making new threads and less working within master threads, which can make browsing more difficult. (And i have a very hard time using the search function, it seems I'm not alone in this.) And there are some pretty accomplished MSers there too. The moderators and  management are a lot more involved than here. And BW, if course, has taken a break, as far as us newbies are concerned. Plenty of knowledge without him, though.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

There is a list if Master threads in the pinned topics. You need to select the "view all pinned topics" option to see it.

Yup. I'm used to a timeline style, i guess. Bit disconcerting. (The hacks, workarounds, and tricks there are every bit as ingenious as the rewards tricks.) BTW b* is completely useless now, no?

The downfalls of CB:

New threads get started for everything.  For example, No CapOne thread with a wiki, instead 2-4 new threads a  day on how to get a CapOne CLI.

No wikis, as stated above.

Search feature is bogus

No comment on the mods being extremely overactive in a very negative, detractive manner

You guys post like there are some CB members defecting. Lol

It's OK to read, post and be active in more than one community. I recommend it.
