Update: Call centre opening times
Published : 9th July 2020
Equifax remains open for business and we are here to provide support and deal with any queries you may have. However, due to Covid-19 (the Coronavirus), our ability to respond to incoming calls in a timely manner has been impacted by call centre site closures as a result of a government mandated lockdown.
We now have a small number of customer service agents available to help you. If you need to contact us urgently because you can’t access your Equifax service, we are now open between 8am – 6pm, Monday to Friday.
We encourage you to use our Equifax Online Help service to answer any queries you may have. We thank you for your patience.

In light of the UK government’s announcement yesterday (16/03/2020), Equifax has taken the decision to close its call centres in order to protect the health and well-being of our staff.
