   And my followup:

   Hi, I’m sorry but you didn’t address my concern.

   Since the purpose of TrustedID is to protect customer security, it is my hope that your organization would use online etiquette that would promote such security. Could you please bring my issue to someone in your organization that deals with such issues?

   Additionally, the survey link that you sent me did not work. I filled out the “Case Closed Survey” form but when I submitted it, I got a response saying “Error: The time to submit this survey has expired.” Please send another, non-expired link. Thank you.

   Thank you,
   Lee Sonko

   I suspect the broken survey link is an attempt to keep my dissatisfaction under wraps. That won’t happen.

   The only response I got back from Equifax/TrustedID is an email saying “We are pleased to inform you that your case is now closed.”

   That is not cool.

   I tried to write to them on the NEW feedback form but when I tried to submit it, again I got a message saying “Error:
   The time to submit this survey has expired.”

   Here’s what I tried to write on the feedback form:

   Here’s what happened: I wrote to Equifax with an issue. Equifax wrote back with a canned, useless answer, additionally, the Feedback Survey link did not work. I wrote back asking for more help and a valid Feedback survey link. The ONLY response I got was a message saying ” We are pleased to inform you that your case is now closed.” And here I am telling you about it.

   Here is the original case number that I filed: #180227-936461.
   The current case number is #180227-936461.

   You can follow the conversation chain on my blog here: https://www.lee.org/blog/2018/02/27/sloppy-equifax/

   Next, I’ll open a new case and try again, maybe taking a different tact this time.

   Here is my latest email back to Equifax Customer support (customer.care@equifax.com)

   Please reopen this case. It has not been resolved.

   This is the second time my case has been “closed” by customer support without any resolution. This time, I received absolutely no response except for a “you case is now closed” message. And just as before, the link to the customer feedback survey is broken.

   I would appreciate a reasoned response to my initial request. If there are any questions, you can follow this discussion on my blog here: https://www.lee.org/blog/2018/02/27/sloppy-equifax
