Equifax, our top rated provider of credit report monitoring services, has simplified their online credit report in response to consumer feedback with the goal of making personal credit monitoring easier for their customers.

The new credit report format consolidates important information upfront and more detailed information in the interior sections of the report. According to Equifax:

Under the new format, the front page of the credit report will now provide a detailed summary of a consumer’s credit history, including accounts, debt- to-credit ratios, account age, and potential negative credit histories — all on one page. Each section also contains a brief explanation for consumers to help them better understand the information.

The new easy to read format is currently available on the Equifax credit report and will be available on the Equifax 3-in-1 Credit Report, which includes information from Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, in early 2008.

We encourage all of our readers to sign up for a credit report monitoring service to help keep tabs on your credit health. Fore more information on Equifax and other credit report monitoring services you can read our in-depth reviews and comparison.
