The bureau and the lender have different roles
FCAC identifies Equifax and TransUnion as Canada’s two main credit bureaus. A bureau report contains credit-history information; a lender makes its own decision about a credit application. A score displayed to you should not be interpreted as a rate quote or a guarantee that every lender will assess you in the same way.
Use the official free-report route
The FCAC report-access page links to Equifax’s free Canadian report options. Use that verified route and read which product you are selecting. We have not tested the current signed-in interface or audited subscription cancellation. Avoid using a third-party enquiry to try to recover a password or retrieve a bureau report.
Evaluate monitoring against a specific need
If you are considering a paid product, list the features you actually want, the price after any introductory period and the cancellation process. Compare those with what the free route supplies. Paying for a subscription does not itself correct inaccurate entries or establish that the information will be identical across bureaus.
Our take: useful data access, not a debt solution by itself
The report can help you identify the account-level question to resolve. If an entry is wrong, follow the bureau’s dispute process with supporting evidence. If entries are accurate but payments are difficult, debt guidance is a separate need. We do not rate Equifax’s customer support because we have not tested it.
Prepare for a conversation
- Whether you need access, correction or monitoring.

Can this form give me my Equifax report or fix my login?
No. Use Equifax’s official access or support process. Our CTA is a separate guidance enquiry and must not contain your bureau password, report or identity documents.
