I found it ironic that Equifax knew about this problem months ago but is only bringing it to light now.  Auwe is right, you screw up and make one late payment on a charge card and you're on the $hit list for years, and I do mean years.  But they can seemingly do what they want.  No justice.  On a lesser note, I wouldn't even bother with the website to check if your numbers came, tried it yesterday, 9-7, and it kept kicking me back to the home page.  They will probably say it was because of the influx of inquires, bull.
