Highly recommend doing this - also if you think your employer is reporting data to The Work Number (highly probably if they use ADP), ask them for information on your employee profile. Equifax has lied to me about the existence of my profile even though they did, in fact, have data on me. Only when my employer told me the identifiers for my profile did I find out that they had previous data on me and I was able to opt-out.
