You can't opt out of being stalked by these evil clowns, but there are ways to hurt them. Your employer probably uses something called "Work Number," which basically involves sending Equifax your pay stubs. When presented with repeated proof of Equifax's staggering incompetence, your company may discontinue the service.

- jstarfish 9y agoThe Work Number is just a particular product within their Workforce Solutions employee-intelligence business unit. Pay stubs aside, if your employer uses it then they likely also have your direct deposit account, all your personal PII, and your W2s among other things. It's a goldmine for fraud.
- username223 9y agoExactly. The Work Number is a goldmine for fraud, and Equifax's guards on that mine are about as effective as a couple of guys sleeping off a hangover in the corner. Your employer should not trust them.
