Why should you get your Equifax credit report? As the oldest and arguably most influential of the three bureaus, accessing the information contained on your Equifax is crucial for improving credit. Once you have your Equifax information, you can begin improving credit by contacting Inquiry Busters to remove unwanted inquiries, and from there begin to change your spending habits, payment frequencies etc. The key to good credit is full disclosure, and the more you know about your personal bureau the better, which is why ordering your free bureau report from Equifax should be done once per year.
