Equifax Inc. and Transunion Face Class Action over False or Inaccurate Credit File Information Equifax Inc. and TransUnion face a class action before the Superior Court against them. The class action seeks to compensate all consumers whose personal information in their credit file with Equifax or TransUnion was false or inaccurate at any time since May 5, 2023. In 2025, one of the representatives, Kevin Villeneuve, received several alerts from Equifax indicating that a new mortgage had been added to his credit file. Mr. Villeneuve already had a mortgage on his home. After conducting research and an investigation, Mr. Villeneuve discovered that this mortgage belonged to another consumer also named 'Kevin Villeneuve,' whose information had been mistakenly included in his credit file. Mr. Villeneuve had to show persistence in order to have his credit file corrected, without any assistance from the credit bureaus, which continued for months to assert that the mortgage belonged to him. The case was handled with the assistance of the Canadian Credit Agency, a company specializing in restoring citizens' credit files with Equifax and TransUnion. According to its President, nearly 79% of credit files contain errors. The Plaintiffs are seeking compensation of $5,000 in damages per member of the Group, in addition to $5,000 in punitive damages. Anyone who has contacted Equifax or TransUnion regarding an issue with their credit file is encouraged to contact the law firm Klyden Legal in order to register for this class action.

Equifax Launches Credit Abuse Risk Model to Help Protect Lenders Against the Rising Financial Impact of First-Party Fraud Equifax announced the launch of Credit Abuse Risk, a new predictive model that uses FCRA-regulated data and is designed to help protect lenders against first-party fraud and drive more confident lending decisions. As the financial impact of first-party fraud continues to rise, Credit Abuse Risk was developed to uncover atypical patterns indicative of two types of fraudulent activities: loan stacking, when an individual quickly applies for multiple loans with no intent to repay those loans, and credit washing, when a person tries to remove accurate, but negative information from a credit report. These patterns can be identified during qualification offers, account origination, or portfolio review. This allows lenders to modify loan terms based on FCRA-compliant insights. Credit Abuse Risk features include: Enhanced insights: The model focuses on behavioral indicators that provide a clear view of atypical credit activity. Targeted decisioning: Specifically designed to address the lifecycle of fraud, from the building of inflated credit profiles to a sudden influx of disputes on unpaid accounts that falls outside the normal range, without limiting the important consumer protections to correct inaccurate or incomplete credit data. Comprehensive portfolio protection: Provides lenders with important insights across all credit tiers. Actionable intelligence: Allows lenders to make real-time, regulated decisions on credit terms for a consumer, providing an FCRA-compliant score with adverse action reason codes.

Equifax Inc. Introduces Enhanced Synthetic Identity Fraud Detection Equifax Inc. announced the launch of Synthetic Identity Risk, a next-generation fraud detection product that leverages AI capabilities to help businesses identify and prevent synthetic identity fraud, a complex and growing challenge that forces lenders to absorb significant financial loss. This new product leverages sophisticated machine learning algorithms to uncover fraud patterns that traditional methods may miss, detecting and flagging potential fraudulent activity before it impacts a company's bottom line. Synthetic identity fraud occurs when fraudsters couple elements of a real identity and manufactured components to create a new, fraudulent identity. These fabricated identities are used to fraudulently open credit accounts or obtain loans, on which the fraudsters eventually stop making payments. Because these fabricated applicants often appear legitimate, synthetic identities can go undetected for long periods of time, leaving lenders exposed to significant charge-offs and revenue loss. According to Equifax data, the average cost or charged-off loss per known synthetic identity is approximately $13,000. Leveraging patent-pending technology, Synthetic Identity Risk analyzes identity data, credit history and behavioral signals to assess the likelihood of synthetic identity activity. Synthetic Identity Risk can be used to detect potential fraud at account opening or it can be used as an account management tool to continuously identify hidden portfolio risk. Applying a holistic approach allows enterprises to make informed, real-time decisions about identity verification and fraud prevention. Announcement • Jan 22

The latest AML solution from Equifax uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to provide organizations that receive, handle and disperse currency with a robust, near real-time offering that screens and monitors individuals and entities against a broad range of global sanctions, enforcement and high-risk businesses lists. Organizations such as banks, credit unions, online payment platforms, brokerages, life insurance providers, real estate law firms and virtual asset service providers can help ensure they are engaging with a person or entity that is clear of any sanctions or watchlists. There are a multitude of screening sources that must be researched for an organization to meet the requirements of the laws associated with preventing, detecting and reporting money laundering scenarios, and managing multiple searches can lead to potential missed matches. This new offering solves the challenge of managing multiple screening resources by offering users access to over 150 sanctions and watchlists and 30,000 adverse news sources globally through a single platform. The platform leverages a proprietary Intelligent Match Engine (IME) that uses the latest advances in AI and machine learning by incorporating vectors that improve the error-prone and costly nature of traditional logic matching.

Equifax Inc. Introduces Complete Income for Social Services Equifax Inc. announced Complete Income, a new solution powered by the Equifax Cloud that helps U.S. federal, state and local government agencies more efficiently process applications for social service benefits across programs including Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and more with information on alternative income sources. Available in August 2025, through a single workflow, Complete Income delivers automated income verifications to caseworkers through two structured, easy-to-understand outputs. Instant Social Service Verification Reports from The Work Number database include W-2 payroll information from more than 4.4 million employers, and the new Income and Expense Connect Solution incorporates consumer-credentialed bank deposit data covering 92% of U.S. financial institutions and self-reported income and expenses. This data may include unearned income such as pension, child support and more. When someone applies for social service benefits under programs such as Medicaid or SNAP, the agency must verify the applicant's income. While traditional payroll records meet the need for many applicants, income verification for self-employed individuals can present unique challenges that can impact the timeliness of benefits decisions. For example, caseworkers are called upon to help self-employed workers sort through and recycle stacks of receipts indicating income as well as expenses in order to help determine eligibility. This type of manual process can be time consuming, inefficient and prone to errors. With Complete Income, a caseworker places an order through the same Equifax Verification Insights Portal used each day by thousands of credentialed verifiers, including numerous caseworkers. This order generates a text or email request that directs the applicant to the secure Equifax portal, which then guides the applicant through an intuitive process for providing bank deposit income as well as self-reported income and expenses are submitted by the applicant, providing a more holistic view of the application.

The Work Number Report Indicator notifies mortgage lenders upfront if an applicant has a verification of income and employment (VOIE) record on The Work Number database. Delivering this information alongside its mortgage prequalification credit report, Equifax is enabling mortgage lenders to instantly obtain information about both an applicant's creditworthiness and employment status. This innovation is enabled by the company's more than $1.5 billion technology and data transformation into the Equifax Cloud. Central to the Equifax Cloud is the custom Equifax data fabric, an adaptable data platform that unifies the enterprise's data (from over 100 siloed data sources) in a single, virtual structure, while enabling critical data governance measures, including data segregation, and maintaining compliance with regulatory requirements. The ability to leverage the power of multiple unique Equifax data assets through data fabric enables lenders to have a better understanding of an applicant's creditworthiness, while also meeting high consumer expectations for a more efficient and streamlined process. The Work Number Report Ind indicator enables lenders to: Gain a Competitive Edge - Leverage unique income and employment insights at prequalification to strengthen decision making, while also gaining deeper insight about risk. Improve Cost Efficiency - Know when a VOIE is available to help manage verification expenses and better predict cost to close. Streamline Loan Processing - Segment borrowers efficiently for a faster, more predictable workflow. Accelerate the Path to Conversion - Prioritize the borrowers' process earlier, while providing confidence in future debit-to-income ratio calculations. Enhance Borrower Experience - Reduce documentation requests and create a smoother approval process. The Work number Report Indicator alongside the mortgage prequalification credit report provides benefits for the borrowers as well as the lender. Borrowers benefit from the freedom to explore loan options without impacting their credit scores. When a VOIE is available, borrowers will not need to provide pay stubs or W-2s and can be fast-tracked through the process. If a VOIE from The Work Number is not available and paper documentation is required, document requests can be streamlined. Altogether, this helps provide for a streamlined lender process and an enhanced borrower experience. Through The Work Number database, Equifax is the commercial source of consolidated employment information in the United States. This data can help credentialed verifiers with a permissible purpose -- such as mortgage lenders -- instantly verify potential borrowers' employment and income, enabling a streamlined mortgage process.

Equifax Introduces New Mortgage Verification Solution Equifax launched a new solution, All Employers Within 90 DaysTM, in support of its commitment to providing an extensive set of verification solutions for the mortgage industry. Powered by The Work Number®, All Employers Within 90 DaysTM allows credentialed lenders to verify a borrower's income and employment information from the previous 90 days.

In addition to launching All Employers Within 90 DaysTM, Equifax has introduced modifications to its existing All Employers Within 12 MonthsTM and All Employers Within 24 MonthsTM offerings. Those modifications support lenders with a smoother billing process for those services, resulting in more aligned processing. With these enhancements and modifications, lenders can choose the solutions they need and the time frame that is most effective for both the borrower and the lender, helping provide a faster time to close and more lender flexibility. Each solution also benefits from the leading security capabilities of Equifax, helping ensure that both borrowers and lenders can be confident their information is protected. Through The Work Number database, Equifax is the leading commercial source of consolidated employment information in the United States.

Equifax Inc. Launches Industry's First Pre-Employment Verification Service Tailored to the Hourly Workforce Equifax Inc. has introduced the industry's first pre-employment verification solution specifically tailored to employers recruiting, retaining and engaging an hourly workforce. In a competitive hourly talent market, the new Talent Report Hourly solution supports better-informed hiring decisions by providing a full view of the applicant's work experience, including their employment history and student enrollment status. This can help support employers as they seek to accommodate employee class schedules and recognize relevant work experience, which can lead to lower turnover and improved retention. According to recent Equifax data, today's hourly workforce is projected to account for more than 79% of annual new hires. While these employees play a vital role in business operations, they may be applying for multiple jobs at once and therefore only have a few minutes to spend on an application. Additionally, less than 30% of companies provide feedback to hourly workers during the recruitment process. However, savvy employers recognize that an intentional dialogue with hourly candidates - supported by relevant data - can help them build a foundation for greater success. Talent Report Hourly is available only to credentialed employers and background screeners. The candidate agrees to having the report provided as part of the application and pre-employment screening process. Talent Report Hourly provides a candidate's previous three years of employment history sourced from The Work Number®?, the centralized source of income and employment information in the United States. It also includes a candidate's postsecondary enrollment status and institution name for the previous six months, sourced from the National Student Clearinghouse, which covers 97% of all enrollments at Title IV, degree-granting institutions in the United States. These unique insights are powered by the TotalVerify™? data hub from Equifax, a more accurate, single source for delivering multi-data solutions. Announcement • May 17
