    I never get any alerts from Equifax! Even if my file changes. :confused:

    In my experience with them, you seem only notified of the addition/deletion of an account or credit increase?

    Sometimes it 'alerts' when my credit file has been searched, but also informs me that I searched my own Equifax file? :confused:
