How hard is it to cancel Equifax (equifax.com)?
Equifax (equifax.com) scores 46/100 (grade D) for how clearly it documents cancellation in the US — a poorly documented cancellation policy. Cancellation is available via phone.
You may cancel a subscription-based product at any time, but there is no self-serve cancel — you must contact the Customer Care Team by phone (1-866-807-7461, 8:00 a.m.–3:00 a.m. ET, seven days a week). Memberships auto-renew indefinitely without further action, and free trials convert to paid unless cancelled before the trial ends; for monthly products you must cancel before the next cycle to avoid the next charge. Fee increases apply unless you cancel before the effective date.

Scope & fairness
This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights — scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
