Frequently asked questions
Cancel Equifax: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel your Equifax subscription in india and protect your credit file
Understanding Equifax and why you might want to cancel
Equifax is one of India's primary credit information companies, regulated by the Reserve Bank of India. The service provides credit reports, credit scores, and financial monitoring tools designed to help you understand your creditworthiness for loan applications, employment checks, and personal financial planning.
Many consumers subscribe to Equifax to access recurring credit reports and score monitoring features. However, if you have obtained the information you needed, found a competitor service more suitable, or simply wish to reduce recurring expenses, you have the legal right to cancel at any time. At Yafee, we help thousands of Indian consumers understand their subscription rights and execute cancellations without unnecessary delays or hidden charges.
Common reasons to cancel Equifax
You might cancel Equifax if you completed a specific financial transaction requiring your credit report, secured a loan and no longer need ongoing monitoring, or discovered that score simulation tools and alerts do not align with your financial goals. Other consumers cancel after discovering that Equifax's paid tier offers limited additional value compared to free alternatives from other credit bureaus.
What Equifax offers in india
Equifax India provides one-time credit report purchases, quarterly subscriptions, and annual plans that bundle your credit score, detailed credit history, payment records, and score simulation tools. Your subscription tier determines the frequency of score updates and whether you receive proactive fraud alerts.
Equifax pricing and subscription plans in india
Below is a breakdown of current Equifax pricing to help you assess whether your subscription cost justifies continued membership.
| Plan | Price (INR) | Billing period | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic one-time report | ₹138 | One-time purchase | Credit report without score |
| Credit report with score | ₹400 | One-time purchase | Full report including credit score |
| Quarterly subscription | ₹450 | 3 months | Report, score, and score simulation |
| Annual subscription | ₹900 | 12 months | Monitoring, score updates, and alerts |
| Single report (standard) | ₹100 | One-time purchase | Comprehensive credit report |
If you subscribe annually at ₹900, cancelling before your renewal date is critical to avoid automatic re-billing. Yafee recommends setting a calendar reminder 25 to 30 days before your renewal date if you remain uncertain about keeping your subscription active.
Your consumer rights when cancelling Equifax in india
Indian law provides you with specific protections when cancelling subscription services like Equifax, and you should understand your legal position before initiating the cancellation process.
Consumer protection act, 2019 and your cancellation rights
The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 governs all transactions between credit bureaus and consumers in India. Under this law, you have the explicit right to cancel services and demand a refund if the service fails to deliver as promised or if the terms are manifestly unfair.
The Act prohibits credit bureaus from imposing hidden cancellation fees, demanding excessively long notice periods outside standard commercial practice, or continuing to charge your account after you have submitted a valid cancellation request. If Equifax refuses to acknowledge your cancellation or continues charging you after cancellation, you can escalate your complaint to your state's Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission (CDRC).
Reserve bank of india guidelines on recurring payments
The RBI has issued strict guidelines governing recurring payments and auto-renewal arrangements. If Equifax continues to debit your bank account after you have cancelled, you can file a dispute with your bank citing RBI guidelines on unauthorised recurring charges. Your bank must investigate the dispute within 10 business days and reverse the charge if Equifax cannot prove you authorised it after your cancellation date.
Furthermore, if Equifax fails to honour a valid cancellation request within 7 days, the RBI empowers your bank to block all future recurring transactions with Equifax on your account.
Your legal position: You can cancel Equifax at any time, with or without cause. The Consumer Protection Act, 2019 guarantees you this right. If Equifax refuses to process your cancellation within 7 days or continues charging you, you can file a formal complaint with your CDRC or contact the RBI Banking Ombudsman for dispute resolution at no cost to you.
How to cancel your Equifax subscription
Equifax subscription cancellations require you to follow a specific procedural sequence to ensure your cancellation is recorded, your account is permanently closed, and no future charges occur.
Step 1: verify your subscription status and renewal date
Before initiating cancellation, you must confirm whether you hold an active subscription and identify your exact renewal date. Log into your Equifax account using your registered email address and password. Navigate to your account settings or subscription dashboard to locate your current plan, renewal date, and any outstanding credits or offers that may influence your decision to cancel.
If you cannot access your account, use the "Forgot Password" feature or contact Equifax customer support with your registered email and date of birth to verify your subscription status.
Step 2: prepare your cancellation request in writing
The most reliable method to cancel Equifax is to submit a formal written request via email or registered mail. Equifax records written cancellation requests systematically and provides dated evidence of your cancellation in the event of a billing dispute. Your written request must include:
- Your full name as registered with Equifax
- Your registered email address or customer ID
- Your date of birth
- Your subscription plan and current renewal date
- A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my Equifax subscription effective immediately"
- The date you submitted your cancellation request
Step 3: submit your cancellation request via email
Send your written cancellation request to Equifax's official support email address. In your email subject line, write: "Subscription Cancellation Request - [Your Name]." Keep your message concise and professional, and retain a copy of your email and the timestamp for your records.
Equifax's support team should respond within 48 hours to acknowledge receipt of your cancellation request and confirm the cancellation date. If you do not receive a response within 48 hours, Yafee recommends that you escalate your request via registered mail to Equifax's registered office address.
Step 4: submit cancellation via registered mail (if email is unsuccessful)
If Equifax does not acknowledge your email cancellation request within 48 hours, send your written cancellation request via registered mail with acknowledgment due to the following address:
Equifax Credit Information Services Pvt Ltd
Plot No. 47, Sector 44, Gurgaon 122003, Haryana, India
Include your name, registered email, date of birth, and subscription plan in your letter. Request that Equifax return a signed acknowledgment of receipt within 7 days. The registered mail provides legal proof of your cancellation submission if a billing dispute arises later.
Step 5: verify cancellation in writing and monitor your bank account
Within 7 days of submitting your cancellation request, you should receive written confirmation from Equifax stating that your subscription has been cancelled and no future charges will be processed. This confirmation letter is critical evidence if you need to dispute a charge with your bank or file a complaint with the CDRC.
Monitor your bank account for 30 days after your cancellation date to ensure no recurring charges appear. If you see any charge from Equifax after cancellation, immediately notify your bank and file a dispute citing your written cancellation confirmation.
Understanding refunds and account credits
Refund eligibility depends on your subscription status and the Consumer Protection Act provisions on fair dealing and unjust enrichment.
When Equifax must refund your subscription fees
If you cancel your subscription within 14 days of purchase, you are legally entitled to a full refund under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, which grants consumers a cooling-off period for distance transactions (including online subscriptions). If Equifax fails to provide a refund within this window without legitimate cause, you can escalate your complaint to the CDRC.
If you cancel after 14 days, Equifax may offer a pro-rata refund for unused subscription time. For example, if you cancel on day 60 of a 90-day quarterly subscription, Equifax should refund approximately one-third of your ₹450 charge, or ₹150. Nevertheless, refund terms vary by subscription plan, so request a refund calculation in writing when you submit your cancellation.
Refund timelines and processing
Once you submit a valid refund request alongside your cancellation, Equifax must process the refund within 10 business days and credit the funds back to your original payment method. If the refund does not appear in your account within 10 business days, contact your bank to initiate a chargeback or dispute.
At Yafee, we have helped thousands of consumers recover outstanding refunds from subscription services by documenting the refund request and escalating disputes to the RBI if companies fail to comply with standard refund timelines.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Equifax
Cancellation disputes often arise from preventable procedural errors, but understanding these traps allows you to cancel cleanly and avoid future billing complications.
Mistake 1: cancelling via phone without written confirmation
Verbal cancellation requests are difficult to prove if Equifax disputes your cancellation date or claims they never received your request. Always submit your cancellation in writing via email or registered mail so you have dated, documented evidence of your cancellation submission.
Mistake 2: failing to verify cancellation before your renewal date
If your annual subscription renews before you confirm cancellation, you will be charged another ₹900 automatically. Contact Equifax at least 30 days before your renewal date to confirm your cancellation was processed. If renewal charges appear on your account, file a dispute with your bank immediately citing your earlier cancellation request.
Mistake 3: ignoring your bank's recurring payment settings
Even after cancelling with Equifax, your bank may still have an active recurring payment mandate on file. Log into your bank's mobile app or online portal and review your recurring payments or subscriptions. If Equifax appears on your active recurring payment list, block the mandate or update the cancellation status to "cancelled."
Mistake 4: not requesting written cancellation confirmation
Without written confirmation from Equifax, you have no documented proof of cancellation if a billing dispute arises. Always demand that Equifax send you a cancellation confirmation letter via email within 7 days. This letter is your primary protection against unauthorised charges.
What happens after your Equifax subscription cancels
Cancellation marks the end of your active subscription, but you retain important rights regarding your credit file and future access to Equifax services.
Your credit file after cancellation
Cancelling your Equifax subscription does not delete your credit file or affect your credit history stored with Equifax. Equifax retains your credit information as required by RBI regulations, and lenders can still access your credit score when you apply for loans or credit. Your cancellation only terminates your personal access to your own credit report and monitoring features.
Accessing your credit file post-cancellation
After cancellation, you can still request your credit report directly from Equifax or obtain a free credit report from other RBI-regulated bureaus such as CIBIL, Experian, or CRIF High Mark. Furthermore, you retain the right to dispute any inaccurate information on your Equifax credit file at any time, even after cancellation, by submitting a dispute request to Equifax's regulatory affairs team.
Reactivating your subscription
If you decide to reactivate your Equifax subscription in the future, you can do so by logging into your account and selecting your desired plan. Yafee recommends that you keep your Equifax login credentials secure even after cancellation in case you need to access your archived credit reports or reactivate your subscription later.
Comparison of Equifax and alternative credit monitoring services
Before finalising your cancellation, you may wish to evaluate whether alternative credit monitoring services offer better value for your financial goals.
| Service | Cost (annual) | Credit bureau | Key features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Equifax | ₹900 | Equifax | Score updates, alerts, simulation tools |
| CIBIL score check | Free to ₹100 | CIBIL | One-time or quarterly reports |
| Experian subscription | ₹600 | Experian | Score monitoring and alerts |
| CRIF High Mark | ₹200 | CRIF | Basic report and score |
| RBI mandated free report | Free | All bureaus | One report per bureau per year |
The RBI entitles you to one free credit report per bureau per financial year. Consequently, you can obtain your Equifax credit report free of charge once yearly, reducing the justification for continuous paid subscription unless ongoing monitoring and alerts align with your financial planning strategy.
Escalation steps if Equifax refuses to cancel
If Equifax fails to process your cancellation within 7 days or continues charging you after cancellation, you have formal regulatory channels to resolve the dispute.
Step 1: send a formal notice to Equifax
Send a registered letter to Equifax's registered office address stating that you have submitted multiple cancellation requests, that they have not been acknowledged or processed, and that you are giving Equifax a final 7-day deadline to confirm cancellation in writing. Include copies of all previous cancellation requests and any evidence of unauthorised charges.
Step 2: file a complaint with your state's consumer dispute redressal commission
If Equifax does not respond within 7 days, file a formal complaint with your state's CDRC. You can submit your complaint online via the National Consumer Helpline portal or in person at your local consumer commission office. Include your cancellation requests, bank statements showing unauthorised charges, and any correspondence from Equifax. The CDRC can compel Equifax to refund charges and impose penalties for non-compliance.
Step 3: contact the RBI banking ombudsman
If your complaint relates to unauthorised recurring charges or failure to block a recurring payment mandate, you can file a complaint with the RBI Banking Ombudsman. The Ombudsman investigates disputes between customers and banks at no cost and can order your bank to reverse charges and block future Equifax transactions on your account.

Final summary and next steps
Cancelling your Equifax subscription is a straightforward process when you follow the documented procedure and understand your legal protections under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Your cancellation right is absolute: Equifax cannot impose additional fees, extend your subscription automatically after cancellation, or refuse your request on arbitrary grounds.
The critical steps are: submit your cancellation in writing, obtain dated confirmation from Equifax within 7 days, monitor your bank account for unauthorised charges, and retain all correspondence for one year. If Equifax refuses to comply, escalate your complaint to the CDRC or RBI Banking Ombudsman, both of which have authority to order refunds and penalties.
