I use Xero for my business accounting. Works well. My accountant had never used it before, but had no problem grokking it.

Intuit has my email address from an abortive attempt to use Quickbooks, about a decade ago. It sucked so hard, I ran screaming.

Every now and then, I get an email from them, suggesting that I “reactivate” My account.

The unsub link is worthless. I have to log in with the nonexistent account, in order to unsub. The reset password function doesn’t work (non-existent account). I am doomed to get these emails for eternity, but they aren’t frequent enough to be much more than an annoyance.

But Equifax has a crappy record on data integrity. I expect an avalanche of penis pill spam, soon.

Ah, hey, that's the same level of incompetence as British Airways. I'm in the same boat there, but that's why /dev/null exists, of course :)

I would consider this a CAN-SPAM violation. You can have your representative and AG apply some pressure.


Yeah…they aren’t interested in addressing this. Not sure why.

So far, it has only been a slight annoyance.
