I have disputed on 10+ separate occasions with maximum days..
I guess YMMV
How did you dispute, online?
I like vanilla but my name is Venilla.

Can someone post numbers of all 3 CBs that they were successful with reaching a human and disputing something? I do not have a CR number and I can't dispute online

TU: 18009168800 press 4 than press 2 (does work)

EQ:  18008465279 closed  Today

17148307000 (call and press 0. You will get to a switchboard operator. Tell them you just called and put in your report number and it disconnected you. Ask them if they can get a human on the line for disputes. That's the only way you'll be able to get through to anyone for EX)

Ask them to connect you to an American call center if you don't feel like speaking to someone in a outsourced center.

Good luck  ;)

Interesting, I never had a problem getting a human. I have all the numbers written down, I'll try to post them soon.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

Let's compare notes ;)

The Experian number, if it's not the same I provided. the number won't get you anywhere without a report number.

The number I provided will get you to the switchboard enabling them to transfer you directly cutting out the report number.

Interesting, I had no problem getting to a human at EX by calling 1-800-EXPERIAN...

Maybe it is because I was trying to put in a freeze. I guess you can do that, then when you get a human you switch to what you wanted...

All the same except EX

That 800 number for EX is fine if you have your report number. If you don't, you need to use the number I provided to go via the SB.

Interesting, I've never had a problem not having a report number. Give me a minute, I'll call and see what I press.
