This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 31,300 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Equifax phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Equifax staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call Equifax is Wednesday. The most busy day to call is Monday. Again, this is based on a sample of 31,300 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Monday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Wednesday.

The best time to call

In summation, the best day to call Equifax is Wednesday. This is not the day with the shortest wait on hold in the phone system, but we still recommend it for its ideal combination of low call volume and short hold times. Plus we believe that Equifax staffs the call center well on Wednesday.

Calling Equifax Canada wasn't horrible, but they clearly want people to visit their website for answers, which is always slightly annoying. If I wanted to go online, I would have done that instead of calling them. Admittedly, I am sure that a lot of people call them for a number of reasons. People call them with questions about their credit history, about fraud, to dispute charges and many more things that likely require a lot of help. 

When I first called, the voice assistant stated, "You have reached the consumer services of Equifax Canada. If you are calling about recent changes to your Equifax account, please see our website. Answers to common questions can be found in the FAQ section." They also said a few things about privacy and a couple of other sentences that I missed, but it was nearly a minute of just being talked to, which I didn't appreciate much. 

They then asked me if I wanted service in English and then gave me a list of options, including, "If your identification information has been lost or stolen, press 1. If you are a victim of fraud, press 2. If you would like a copy of your own credit score, if available, press 3. For a change of address, press 4. If you have been denied credit, press 5. To obtain our mailing address, press 6. For any other questions, please press 8." I pressed one because the reason I was calling was about a potential issue with my data. 

Unfortunately, my purse was stolen out of my car the night before, so I needed to freeze my credit as there was plenty of identifying information in there. I wanted to get as far ahead of the situation as possible. I was pleasantly surprised that I didn't need to go through any more steps to finish my report. Instead, it allowed me to report the loss via an automated system or a representative. 

Once again, I didn't want to use a robot or the internet to report this; I wanted to talk to someone about what I should do and make sure all my bases were covered. To my delight, someone answered after about 30 seconds of being on hold. I did have to listen to a few more messages about going online to get help while on hold, but in the end, I was able to speak to a very clear English speaker who helped me take care of everything necessary.
