(888) 899-1126

This number is NOT legit. I am going through a refinance and I was working when they called. Their voicemail said they were with Equifax Mortgage and wanted to do a conference call with me and my bank about my current Mortgage and former home equity loan company. I got in touch with my real refi lender and he said Equifax does NOT have a mortgage branch and it sounded like a scam. So I looked up the number and found this site. DO NOT call them back. I have blocked them.

They called me while I was at the table signing with the seller. Lol. We all looked at one another and laughed. The attorney took my phone, gave them an earful and THEY hung up. Always call your lender before freely giving out information. If it’s a legal call they will connect you to equifax/etc. scammers

This is a legit number. I am going through a refinance and they called me because my current mortgage provider needs my permission to speak with them. I searched online and initially I thought it was a scam but reached out to the (new) mortgage refinance company, they confirmed it was real. They didn't ask me for my social or anything like that.

Be very careful. I got this same call while trying to close on a mortgage. Luckily my loan officer provided an Equifax conference number differing from the 888 899 1126 number. The representative with Equifax confirmed the 888 899 1126 number to be a fraud caller and was going to report it to his company He stated Equifax will not initially reach out to you in this manner and you always call in first with information provided by your loan officer. Always check with your lender on those phone numbers. I was given reference number 62111126, see the red flag?

Got a voicemail saying Equifax Mortgage Solutions needs me to have a conference call with my current mortgage loan servicer. Called back and somebody started asking for my social security number. Not comfortable doing that!

BEWARE! Disregard the comments claiming this is a legitimate company -- the scammers are leaving fake comments on numerous sites about the number claiming that the company is valid. THIS IS NOT TRUE.

I work for a financial institution and received a phone call from this number a few days ago. A man named Krisna, claiming to be with "Equifax Mortgage Solutions" was attempting to get VERBAL information about a mutual client because he was refinancing their mortgage. LET'S BE CLEAR: EQUIFAX DOES NOT SERVICE OR ISSUE LOANS. Equifax is a credit reporting agency, they do not lend monies. Also, anyone in the industry knows that no mortgage lender will call up another institution to get information. Any requests for additional information are WRITTEN and a written authorization from the client with their true signature is REQUIRED. Be aware of anyone offering to "conference call" with your institution -- this is likely another bad actor who already knows your information and is pretending to be a representative of your institution.

In case you're wondering, when I told Krisna that we would need a written request and signed client authorization statement to be faxed to us, Krisna asked if we would accept an electronic signature (LOL, nope!). I gave him my fax number, but haven't received anything as of yet. I'm willing to bet it's because he knew the jig was up.

How do I know all about these type of scams? Remember how I said I work for a financial institution? Yeah, I'm a Fraud Investigator.

My lender confirmed this was a legit phone number and request from Equifax Mortgage. The most painful call I sat through and humiliating but legitimate.

Claimed they were doing a renter verification check for a tenant of mine. I have no rental property or tenants. Scam city

Verified with my lender. This is a legit number that can calls when applying for a new mortgage and their are unanswered questions about your credit report. Their process does not seem to be very secure and could be easily spoofed.

Gilbert M - I received a call from Equifax Mortgage Solutions at 888-899-1126. I was buying a house and Navy Federal made me pay off 2 vehicles. One from Chrysler Capital and one that I was financing from Logix Credit Union. Equifax was updating the tradelines to show they were paid off. Not a scam.

They called to verify rental payments for my tenant who is purchasing a new home. I called back to verify that they were indeed Equifax, it was. Not a scam.

I received a call from 888-899-1126 to request a conference call with my previous lender to confirm my former mortgage was paid off. They are legit as I called and asked my loan officer. She had requested the Equifax credit report update to verify my former mortgage paid off to update my credit report for my new mortgage. If you have recently sold a house and paid off your mortgage at closing, depending on the previous lenders policy to release your information to lenders (some will, some will not), expect to get a call from Equifax Mortgage Solutions. It will depend on the lender, some ask to receive permission directly from customer thus the conference call with all three parties. Of course, there could be scammers using their number to show on your phone caller ID so always call your loan officer first and call them back.

SCAM!!!!!!!!!!

Alleging to be Equifax pertaining to my mortgage.
