I understand; Eqifax is a Canadian Credit Reporting Company/Agency. Terry writes: I concur. Did not receive any notification of the Equifax 'FREE CREDIT REPORT OFFER' until less than two days before the 18th Sept. expiry date! Finally was able to access the Equifax site which was very slow. Went carefully through the instructional pages about "How to use/control your credit etc.". Also on one page it said that credit recording companies 'must', by law give a free credit report by mail. On the next page it offered credit reports plus a FICO rating, whatever that is! Cost was $14.95!!!!! (Some 'free' report!) Called my credit card company; "Am I elegible? Is it a genuine offer, or some bogus scheme?", answer, "YES, but they have been flooded with requests". Reaccessed Equifax; "Offer was now limited to 10,000 free reports which have now all been used". This was approx. 24 hours before the 'offer' expired at midnight Sept. 18th. basicall I was limited to about a 12 hour window; IF THE EQIFAX SITE HAD WORKED! Not impressed at all with Equifax; it does appear that "Get your Free Credit Report" was mishandled? Any other Canadian consumers have this problem?
