Equifax can't even spell

sfax

When Equifax close a support call they send out an automated email telling you it's closed a la







"Surpressed"??!! I can't believe a company the size of Equifax can make such elementary spelling mistakes in an email subject title that will potentially go out to 1000s of people (anyone who has ever queried their report online)

You're probably the only one as well out of 1000's who actually are bothered about a spelling mistake too.

It's pretty unprofessional: I'd be rather embarrassed if anything I released at work contained basic spelling mistakes.

On a forum, Facebook, text message I'm not overly fussed about grammar-nazism... but in the world of work, business, finance and so on, it doesn't give me much faith in the company if they can't even proof read an email.

What's to say they don't have spelling mistakes in their software? As a software developer myself, I know the carnage a simple mis-spelt variable can wreak.

It's not the mistake itself; it's what it says about the professionalism of the company. I reiterate: #tinpot.

Maybe its one of the Call Centres staff that done the wording as I normally have to spell my name out a few times & even then they say it wrong.

surely it wouldn't compile if there was a misspelled variable (depending on language) ?

besides, its unlikely the software developer making their software is going to be the same person who's writing the emails
