 
REQUEST TO OBTAIN MY FREE CREDIT REPORT 
 
Important Information & Instructions: 
In order to protect your personal information we will validate your identity before mailing your credit report to your confirmed 
home address.  You must provide a photocopy of the front and back of: 
  2 pieces of government-issued identification (e.g. driver’s license, health card, birth certificate, passport etc.) 
  If your address is not up-to-date on either identification, you must also provide an additional document showing your 
current home address (e.g. telephone or utilities bill or bank statement).  We recommend you blackout transactional 
details as we only require the date of the document, the sender, your name, address and your account number. 
  If you provide your Social Insurance Number (S.I.N.), we will cross-reference it with our records to ensure that we 
disclose the correct information to you.  Knowing your S.I.N. helps us avoid delays and confusion in case another 
individual's identifying information (such as name and address) is similar to your own. 
  If you provide a credit card statement or copy of your credit card as proof, please ensure to blackout your CVV. 
The above information will be used to confirm your identity and will not be used to update or change your credit file 
information except if any part of your name, date of birth or address in our records is different from the proof you provide, we 
will update your credit report to reflect the correct information.  We will keep a copy of the information you provide to 
demonstrate that we complied with our obligation to obtain reasonable identification from you. 
Please send your completed form with proof of identity to: National Consumer Relations: P.O. Box 190, Station 
Jean-Talon Montreal Quebec H1S 2Z2 or by fax to: 514-355-8502.  Kindly allow 5-10 days for delivery.  If any 
corrections to your credit report are necessary you must complete the Credit Report Update form enclosed with your package, 
or visit www.equifax.ca  and click on “Correct an inaccuracy on my credit report” under Credit Report Assistance.

*Equifax Credit Score is a product some service providers use when assessing applications for credit and services.  It is not part of your credit report, but is based on 
the particular information in your credit file at the time it is calculated.  Equifax Credit Score is not the same as the FICO Score, which is also used by some lenders.  
Equifax will provide your credit report free of charge, whether or not you purchase your Equifax Credit Score.  There is another credit reporting agency in Canada 
that provides this service: TransUnion of Canada, P.O. Box 338, L.C.D.I. Hamilton ON L8L 7W2   Telephone: 1-800-663-9980   Telephone in Quebec: 1-877-713-3393
