Yesterday I decided to get a copy of my free credit report and i went to the website referred to my by XXXX at www.equifax.com. I went to the website that i thought was secure and after i put in ALL my personal information such as address and social security number the website crashed numerous times. Then when i finally got back in it said my request could not be processed and that i need to call this number. XXXX XXXX XXXX. " We can't complete your request at this time. please call the customer care team. customer care is available between XXXX and XXXX  ET 7 days a week. 

so i called and i got the run around by the automated menu and the robot could not interpret anything i was saying or texting. for example it said please press 1 for yes and 2 for no and it didn't receive any of my digit responses. Finally, after about 10 minutes of total frustration i started pressing every button i possibly could and got some worker in XXXX who after about 13 seconds of me speaking, hung up on me and sent me to the 2 question survey which also could not detect my digit responses!! 

I feel completely violated and taken advantage of. I'm in limbo, still don't have a report and now these people have all this power to make or break mt credit rating and i'm supposed to feel secure that this company has the ability to destroy my credit at the drop of a hat. Who manages these companies and why are they allowed to have such terrible customer service? i'm not even sure i was speaking to the actual Equifax. How does a company with this power have a website that crashes and then sends you to never never land?? I emailed the company and got a autobot response telling me " the following link may address your concern..blah blah blah how-can-i-get-a-free-equifax-credit-report '' .. wow ya thing i didn't already try that?
