The Privacy Commissioner has released the annual compliance assurance reports submitted by the three national credit reporting companies for the 2022/2023 year.
Credit reporting agencies send us reports each year so we can check they are meeting their obligations under the Credit Reporting Privacy Code, Privacy Commissioner, Michael Webster said.
“My office has completed our annual assurance round of Equifax; illion and Centrix’s compliance with the Credit Reporting Code and no issues have been raised.”
These assurances are focused on making sure the agencies keep credit information safe and secure and take reasonable steps to check credit information is accurate before using or disclosing it.
We also make sure there are processes for individuals to request access to and correction of their credit information and confirm there is information on the agency’s complaint process available on its website.
