The companies’ CEOs provided a joint statement on the decision
to increase their offerings for the next year. “These are
unprecedented times facing the world. People are feeling scared and
uncertain about the future. To help play our part and reduce some
of that anxiety, we are uniting as an industry to help people know
the facts about their financial data. We are making credit reports
more accessible more often so people can better manage their
finances and take necessary steps to protect their credit
standing,” said CEOs Mark W. Begor, CEO Equifax; Brian Cassin, CEO
Experian; and Chris Cartwright, CEO TransUnion.
Consumer credit reports are a factual record of credit activity
and payment history used by lenders, creditors, service providers
and other businesses to extend financial opportunities and other
offers to people. Credit reports play an important role in
financial health for consumers, businesses and the economy.
Credit vigilance is critical during these uncertain times.
Consumers are advised to review their credit reports frequently to
understand the information that is being reported about their
payment behavior. The single most important action for consumers
who cannot pay their bills right now is to talk with their lenders
to find out if they are offering any assistance.
The three credit reporting agencies have also worked with their
U.S. trade association, Consumer Data Industry Association, to
provide guidance to data furnishers on how to support consumer
credit reporting during the pandemic.
