"As a consumer reporting agency, Equifax is subject to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The FCRA gives you specific rights in connection with your consumer report, including the right to know what is in your file, the right to ask for your credit score, the right to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information, and rights relating to victims of identity theft. You may request a free annual credit report at AnnualCreditReport.com. Equifax may only share your consumer report with those who have a permissible purpose under the FCRA.— Excerpt from Equifax's Equifax Privacy Policy
