Equifax is the first and only credit bureau to provide a free, translated credit report in Spanish online and by mail. The introduction of a translated Spanish credit report in 2021 aligns directly with the ongoing Equifax commitment to advance financial inclusion and help all consumers access and better understand their credit profiles. - Free Weekly Credit Reports
In 2020, Equifax and the other national credit reporting agencies began offering free weekly credit reports to all Americans to help them protect their financial health during the sudden and unprecedented hardship caused by COVID-19. The free reports became available via AnnualCreditReport.com starting in April 2020. - LGBTQ+ Credit Report Name Changes
Through the Equifax Pride Network (EPN), an employee resource group, we identified a challenge that trans and nonbinary people face with their credit reports when changing their name. Following engagement by members of the EPN, we updated our processes so that trans and nonbinary consumers who have changed their legal name will now be able to more easily inform us to change the name on their credit report without affecting their credit score. - Free Credit Monitoring Alerts for Service Members
We offer service members free credit monitoring alerts. We continuously monitor for risks of identity theft or fraud while the military member is serving on active duty. - COVID + Credit: Helping Consumers Navigate Financially in a Global Pandemic
In 2020, we established a COVID + Credit Financial Resources Center 一 a single online destination that provides information and resources to help consumers better navigate financial considerations related to the pandemic. Consumers have access to articles, podcasts, videos and more. Between April and December 2020, approximately 823,000 consumers visited the site.
