What are the hours and when should I call?
TransUnion operates the call center for this 800-916-8800 phone number Mon-Fri 8am-11pm ET.The short answer is that you should call on a Friday.This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 970 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).
When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the TransUnion call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
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 TransUnion 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 TransUnion 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 TransUnion is Tuesday.The most busy day to call is Thursday, which averages 18% more phone calls by comparison.Again, this is based on a sample of 970 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 Friday.The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Tuesday, which is 650% longer than the minimum.As you can see, there is more fluctuation in hold time over the course of the week than there is in call volume.
In summation, the best day to call TransUnion is Friday.It isn't the least busy day, but the fact that hold times are shortest combined with it being on the busy side tells us that TransUnion staffs up on Friday to handle the higher call volume, and that makes it the best time to call.
When you call the customer service number for TransUnion, you're greeted by an automated messaging system that first asks whether you'd like to proceed in English (press 1) or Spanish (press 2). Having an alternate language option is greatly appreciated as it increases caller accessibility!
If you don't make a language selection, the request—press 1 for English or 2 for Spanish—will repeat three times. Normally, when a language option isn't selected (at least in my experience), English is selected for you, and the automated messaging system proceeds from there. With this customer service line for TransUnion, however, it will say, "Sorry that you are having trouble. Please try again later," and then automatically terminate the call.
After making a language selection, you hear an extremely robotic-sounding voice that makes some sort of promotion I didn't really catch, then asks how it can help you today. The phone menu seems to only be accessible via voice activation, which is not the most convenient. Voice-activated systems, at least in my experience, rarely work well. Even when you clearly state a selection, they still seem not to accept it as a valid entry; it can be incredibly frustrating.
With TransUnion, the system didn't offer potential things you could say, as other customer service lines often do if you don't immediately start speaking. Instead, the automated messaging system repeats itself three times, with very minimal time in between—literally maybe 1.5 seconds. A positive, though, is that if you don't make a verbal selection for three cycles, it will automatically transfer you to a representative!
This is potentially a great shortcut for other callers. Once I was able to get through to someone, they were very helpful, so no complaints on that end! The messaging system itself, however, could certainly be improved.

TransUnion Customer Service on Facebook / Messenger
Some customer service teams, like that of TransUnion, accept inquiries through Facebook Messenger. This is a good option if you have a Facebook account, and you may even be able to converse live with an agent this way.
As a last, sometimes only, resort- TransUnion customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
