Equifax apparently removed XXXX incorrect addresses off of my credit report. However, they have refused to correct the current address on file without my faxing or mailing them personally identifiable information. I am reluctant to fax or mail the documentation requested. because I am concerned my documents could be intercepted in the mail, or made available to an untrusted source if the documents remain unattended on a fax machine. I requested the option of emailing the documents, and Equifax refused. They also would not guarantee the safety of my documents. Equifax also refused to provide me with the source of the incorrect information, so I was unable to coordinate address corrections with that so-called reporting source. It is unfair that our official records and credit score is based on credit reporting agencies that are not under the scrutiny of a federal agency, and consumers are forced to go through hoops and jeopardize our personally identifiable information to correct errors of the credit reporting agency.
