• 49 Things that are listed on your Equifax Canada credit report

    I've got my "paid for" Equifax Credit report in front of me. I'm going to list the items that are shown so that you can see the enormous amount of information that they list about you.

    The reason that I created this list is because most people have no idea of the amount of items listed on their credit report. If you have 10 pieces of credit the amount of credit items is very quickly multiplied.

    By *Canadian law, everything on your credit report must be accurate, complete and verifiable.
