Equifax is a credit monitoring company that offers both commercial and personal services. They provide consumer and commercial data along with analytics and proprietary technology, to produce insights about credit reporting and credit monitoring. Equifax is also a company that is used for identity theft solutions and features a 30-day trial membership based on these services.

Like most free trials, you don’t read the small print on the terms and conditions, and you are locked into a service that you were not ready to fully invest in. Or maybe you’re in the situation where you’ve knowingly subscribed to the services of Equifax because you were worried about the current state of your credit during times of economic uncertainty. But, thankfully, your financial situation has gotten better over time and you no longer need this monthly service.

Whatever the reason you signed on for a reoccuring Equifax account, if you're here it may be because you're looking to cancel that account. You're not alone, Consumer Affairs reports over 90 percent of customers having one-star experiences - that’s nearly 540 complaints!
