In some cases credit reporting agencies, such as Experian, TransUnion, or Equifax, can inadvertently match the incorrect account to a consumer’s credit report. This is known as a “Mixed File.” This is not a case of fraud, but rather a mismatch issue and can easily be cleared up with the Mixed File departments within the credit reporting agencies. We have listed the toll free numbers to reach the credit reporting agencies below.


Experian: 1-888-397-3742


Equifax: 1-888-766-0008
