Equifax is one of three national credit bureaus. These companies collect information about your credit history, such as how many credit cards you have, how much money you owe, and how you pay your bills. Each company creates a credit report about you, and then sells this report to businesses who are deciding whether to give you credit. You cannot opt out of this data collection. However, you can review your credit report for free and freeze your credit.

ATLANTA, Dec. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Equifax (NYSE: EFX) is furthering its commitment to expand access to credit by making 'Buy Now, Pay Later' (BNPL) payment information part of credit reports, as identified by a new business industry code. The company has created the industry's first policy for acceptance of BNPL tradelines in consumer credit files via Consumer Data Industry Association (CDIA) Metro 2 guidelines. An Equifax study of anonymized consumer data from a BNPL provider shows that individuals who pay their BNPL loans on time could potentially increase their FICO Score - helping consumers to both build and rebuild credit.

"Equifax will be the first credit reporting agency to formalize a standard process for reporting BNPL tradelines for inclusion on traditional consumer credit reports," said Mark Luber, Chief Product Officer for U.S. Information Solutions (USIS) at Equifax. "We are committed to helping people live their financial best, and recognize the role that BNPL services can play in helping people build stronger financial profiles."

Equifax research shows that the inclusion of on-time payments of BNPL loans in credit reporting may increase credit scores. Equifax conducted a study of anonymized consumer BNPL data, where the BNPL tradelines had the following features:

"Most BNPL providers either bypass the credit check completely, or do a soft pull on credit files, which can be attractive to consumers," said Luber. "We are encouraging BNPL providers to report into Equifax as a powerful source of data. Those who use BNPL services that report can demonstrate reliable behavior and boost their credit profile."

Miller's troubles began in 2009, according to her complaint, when she was denied credit from Huybbard Bank based on her Equifax credit report. She requested and eventually received a copy of her report, which, she discovered, contained false identifying information, an incorrect Social Security number, a false birthday and false, derogatory collection accounts attributed to her.

After filing further protests with Equifax about the inaccuracies in her report, Equifax representatives told Miller her data had become \"mixed\" with another person's. They told her she would need to dispute the false information directly to her creditors.

I would like to think that helped but as fast as the split happened a week later my report was back and correct. They closed my ticket and the representative said when they looked my report was fine. This was the craziest thing I ever dealt with.

My EQ file "split" 12 years ago. Of course, I did the right thing and never pursued it. ? In spite of my laziness, after years of having no new accounts, I financed a car and opened a card with my credit union. Lo and behold, after six months or so I had a bright and shiny but very thin EQ report with none of the negatives contained in the others.

I sent in the credit reports, license, utility bill and SS card to show them I was real. I gave it 2 days after the USPS said it was recieved to follow up, on that call all was fine. So I know my paperwork didn't do anything but no one could explain why my report disappeared initially.

If I may chime in....This happened to my nephew 2 years ago. He became aware when the mortgage company could only get reports from the other 2 bureaus. Well, for a mortgage approval the borrower needs to have 3 reports. The lender told my nephew to call Equifax. Equifax had him complete several forms and provide many types of documentation to prove his identity. He did this several times. Efforts were to no avail. Weeks went by and the mortgage company intervened and was actually able to get it resolved. My nephew got his house and all 3 bureaus produce reports. Supposedly explanation from Equifax was that there had been attempted fraud or identity theft. However, there no fraudulent inquiries nor any authorized accounts opened.

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. I am in the process of trying to clean up my credit reports and raise my scores. I've disputed and have successfully had several negative items removed from both my Transunion and Experian reports with no issues whatsoever and have raised both of those scores a good bit. However, the problem is with Equifax. I absolutely for the life of me cannot access my credit report on the Equifax web site. I can view my Equifax report via Credit Karma, but in order to file disputes, you need to actually do it from the Equifax web site. I have successfully answered all of their security questions dozens of times, but it keeps telling me the online delivery is unavailable. I think I also had this problem last year when I tried to access it, but I eventually gave up. However, after having great success removing negative items and raising my scores with the other 2 bureaus, I'm 100% motivated and determined to do the same with Equifax. I did go through the free annual credit report web site and I did mail in a copy of my ID and request form to have my Equifax report mailed to me, but I really want to be able to access it online and file the disputes that I need to file. Has anybody else had this issue with Equifax? If so, how did you finally resolve it? I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the Equifax data breach a while back. Either way, I'm really starting to pull my hair out over this. Any advice/tips on how to fix this issue before it makes me completley insane would be greatly appreciated! 9af72c28ce
