Alert: File Blocked for Promotional Purposes (EQ)

[mustang427]

Okay so in the midst of my repair journey, all 3 of my credit files added a Fraud Alert note and apparently have blocked promotional access to my files. (So therefor no mail offers, no shopping cart trick, etc) - I wrote each bureau and asked them to remove this alert. They all 3 promptly removed the Fraud Alert Statement (MPM daily checking showed it disappeared) - So I thought everything was a go....well I still haven't been receiving any offers or able to do the shopping cart trick - and I've been able to do so in the past - so I requested a file since Equifax wont let me back door online for some reason....and the first time they said they couldn't locate a file for me (which I know I have one, trust me) - second written request i get a copy of it finally...and at the very top is:

 

Alert: File Blocked For Promotional Purposes

 

Written in bold letters....

 

Now like i said i previously wrote to them to remove it......anyone have any advise on getting this blocked file thing fixed? I'm not sure of the other 2 still have it on there but since I haven't been getting offers I'm assuming they do.

 

I'm opted in by the way - and before this crap started I was able to backdoor eq, I was able to receive shopping cart trick and mail offers....almost every other day something was in the mail. - Not complaining about the crap mail not being in the box....but I was hoping something good would come along one day LOL

Call them and ask them to remove it. This is why you are not getting offers or shopping cart tricks. You are still opted out when you see that message.
