How to Get a Credit Report From Equifax

Equifax is one of the three major credit reporting agencies in the United States. This agency creates a credit report based on information furnished by your creditors. You'll find credit card, loan, mortgage and other type of credit accounts on your report. Any recent delinquencies, collection accounts or negative reports will also be included. Request a credit report from Equifax to confirm that your report has accurate information. You are legally allowed to request a free credit report from Equifax and two other credit reporting agencies once per year, through the Annual Credit Report site run by the federal government.
