But the card company told me they couldn't allow it since the folks at Equifax said I had insufficient credit history. So I called, well I tried calling, the Equifax people to see what was going on since I have had all sorts of credit cards and loans and financial interactions over the years and I presently have two company credit cards. I got an automated system. But I persevered and finally got the real number of a real person. However, when I requested my free credit report he began to ask me to tell him what my current credit cards and their numbers were. This was after varifying my SS# and my Dr. Li. #. I balked at his question since i thought his agency is supposed know this stuff already. I couldn't figure out why I had to tell him what he should already know. So I tried another number he gave me, and they sent me a form letter to complete my request.
