How do I update my personal info with credit bureaus?
I just want to update my phone number. I looked online and called some numbers for transunion and equifax in the phone book, and all I get is a bunch of stuff about free credit reports, fraud alerts and disputes. I need to update my phone number because I put a fraud alert on my file, so I can't apply for credit anywhere without them calling my phone. And what info do I need to include if I mail them?

- It can only be done by writing a letter to the agency in care of the ultra slow motion department. Credit reporting agencies are very quick to make you look bad, but almost never helpful in correcting mis-information. For something as simple as your phone number, don't even bother, it don't mean diddly.
