Begor, CEO Equifax; Brian Cassin, CEO Experian; and Chris Cartwright, CEO TransUnion. \u201cWe believe that the removal of medical collection debt with an initial reported balance of under $500 from U.S. consumer credit reports will have a positive impact on people\u2019s personal and financial well-being.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe NCRAs previously announced that as of July 1, 2022, all medical collection debt that has been paid by the consumer in full is no longer included on U.S. consumer credit reports. The time period before unpaid medical collection debt appears on a consumer\u2019s credit report was also increased from six months to one year, giving consumers more time to address their debt before it is reported on their credit file.<\/p>\n<p>\nTo further help U.S. consumers manage financial health during continued economic uncertainty, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion are also providing free weekly credit reports through the end of 2023 via <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.annualcreditreport.com%2Findex.action&amp;esheet=53379255&amp;newsitemid=20230411005392&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=AnnualCreditReport.com&amp;index=5&amp;md5=2429ceffaea7ad1429e22b604c8ca439\">AnnualCreditReport.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\nFor more information, please visit: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.equifax.com%2F&amp;esheet=53379255&amp;newsitemid=20230411005392&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Equifax&amp;index=6&amp;md5=b01f010034c00b0de5997220cea80a1d\">Equifax<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.experianplc.com%2F&amp;esheet=53379255&amp;newsitemid=20230411005392&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Experian&amp;index=7&amp;md5=7bcd3c6546ca85cd5d25f34d8ff8fc77\">Experian<\/a> and <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.transunion.com%2F&amp;esheet=53379255&amp;newsitemid=20230411005392&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=TransUnion&amp;index=8&amp;md5=6a43655baa8a615609bd229a7f77ad39\">TransUnion<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>ABOUT EQUIFAX INC.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nAt Equifax (NYSE: EFX), we believe knowledge drives progress.
