I don`t understand the notice that I just found on Experian.ca. What "very difficult economic environment in Canada" are they talking about. Aren`t we top in the G8? Why would poor economic growth suggest they would lose money in Canada? Shouldn`t things be much worse in US. Anyway just thought you guys would be interested to hear Experian won`t be around much longer for Canadian credit reports.
QUOTE Effective April 17, 2009, Experian will unfortunately discontinue its Canadian consumer credit bureau operations as a result of the very difficult economic environment in Canada and around the world, which Experian believes will persist for some time. This means that as of April 18, 2009, Experian will no longer be providing credit reports out of its Canadian database regarding any consumer in Canada.
We will continue to respond to ongoing consumer requests for copies of credit reports, as well as handle disputed items and other consumer assistance until April 17. After that date and upon completion of any disputes in process, all consumer information will be deleted from our database and will no longer be available to consumers or creditors.
If you have not previously obtained your credit report from us or initiated a dispute on your Experian credit report, you may wish to contact one of the other credit bureaus for assistance.
