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

Hi.. where can I find information about disputing accounts on credit report (mainly looking to remove AUs), any other information about removing accounts that were opened then closed or something would also be great *cough 5/24*

Just call the CB's and tell them it's not your account. I just did it, pretty simple. (TU took 3 min, Experian about 10, Equifax had to wait forever like 40 min)

Disputed an au with experian. On my credit report it now says that liability is authorized user, is that what was supposed to happen? Or they remove it totally?

They should remove it totally. Did their investigation finish?

Haha true. I know with amex it's speedy. They told me that they report it by default due to some law but when requested they remove it. Which they did.

No clue. They probably will transfer you. Amex has a specific Dept that deals with the CB. It was.the number that they give on the CR.

Careful with the phone calls. Most of the time it will result in an "Expedited Dispute Resolution", among giving up many of your rights under the FCRA, this type of disputing doesn't require the bureau's to permanently remove the item. If you are in a big hurry call them, but if you want to increase the chances it stays off, do it by mail.
