Office of the Privacy Commissioner | Privacy Commissioner releases latest credit assurance reports
The Privacy Commissioner has released the annual compliance assurance reports submitted by the three national credit reporting companies for the 2024/2025 year.
“Credit reporting agencies report to The Office of the Privacy Commissioner 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; Experion (formerly illion) and Centrix’s compliance with the Credit Reporting Code and no substantive 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, he said”
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 their websites.
Individuals looking to request access to their credit reports can contact each of the credit reporters to do so. Read a copy of the Credit Reporting Summary of Rights (opens to PDF, 179KB).
