There is a way to "freeze" your job data I believe - totally different from freezing your credit. No idea how far it reaches but I have considered it myself. Anybody know how to do it?
Mailed, or emailed to: TWNFreeze@equifax.com
Call your state and federal legislative representatives.
(It does appear California residents might be able to have The Work Number delete their data: https://myprivacy.equifax.com/personal-info ; I’m not a California resident, so please report back if this works)
Edit: I qualified my first sentence because Equifax might just ignore your workplace data freeze and hand out your info anyway.
I'm guessing that's what people in this thread are looking for? Surely not everyone here asking how to freeze (or providing instructions on how they did it) works at Equifax.
