THE EXCHANGE OFFER WILL EXPIRE AT 5:00 P.M., NEW YORK CITY TIME, ON                , 2003, UNLESS EXTENDED (THE “EXPIRATION DATE”). TENDERS MAY BE WITHDRAWN AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION DATE.

To Our Clients:

             Enclosed for your consideration are the Prospectus dated                     ,           (as the same may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Prospectus”), and the related Letter of Transmittal (which together with the Prospectus constitute the “Exchange Offer”), in connection with the offer by Equifax Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Company”), to exchange the Company’s 4.95% Notes due 2007 (the “New Notes”) which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for any and all of the Company’s outstanding 4.95% Notes due 2007 (the “Old Notes”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Exchange Offer.

             We are holding Old Notes for your account. An exchange of the Old Notes can be made only by us and pursuant to your instructions. The Letter of Transmittal is furnished to you for your information only and cannot be used by you to exchange the Old Notes held by us for your account.

             We request information as to whether you wish us to exchange any or all of the Old Notes held by us for your account upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Exchange Offer. We urge you to read carefully the Prospectus and the Letter of Transmittal and other material provided herewith before instructing us to tender you Old Notes. We also request that you confirm that we may on your behalf make the representations contained in the Letter of Transmittal.

             Your attention is directed to the following:

             1. The forms and terms of the New Notes are the same in all material respects as the forms and terms of the Old Notes (which they replace), except that the New Notes have been registered under the Securities Act. Interest on the New Notes will accrue from the most recent May 1 or November 1 on which interest was paid or provided for on the Old Notes.

             2. Based on an interpretation by the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as set forth in certain interpretive letters addressed to third parties in other transactions, New Notes issued pursuant to the Exchange Offer in exchange for Old Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by a holder thereof (other than a holder which is an “affiliate” of the Company within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act or a “broker” or “dealer” registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that such New Notes are acquired in the ordinary course of such holder’s business and such holder is not engaging, does not intend to engage, and has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of such New Notes. See “Shearman & Sterling,” SEC No-Action Letter (available July 2, 1993), “Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc.,” SEC No-Action Letter (available June 5, 1991), and “Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation,” SEC No-Action Letter (available May 13, 1988).

             3. The Exchange Offer is not conditioned on any minimum aggregate principal amount of Old Notes being tendered. The New Notes will be exchanged for the Old Notes at the rate of $1,000 principal amount of New Notes for $1,000 principal amount of Old Notes.

             4. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Exchange Offer, or any extension of the Exchange Offer, the Company will not be required to accept for exchange, or to exchange any New Notes for, any Old Notes and may terminate the Exchange Offer (whether or not any Old Notes have been accepted for exchange) or may waive any conditions to or amend the Exchange Offer, if any of the conditions described in


 

the Prospectus under “The Exchange Offer — Conditions to the Exchange Offer” have occurred or exist or have not been satisfied.

             5. Tendered Old Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date, if such Old Notes have not previously been accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer.

             6. Any transfer taxes applicable to the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer will be paid by the Company, except as otherwise provided in Instruction 5 of the Letter of Transmittal.

             If you wish to have us tender any or all of your Old Notes, please so instruct us by completing, detaching and returning to us the instruction form attached hereto. An envelope to return your instructions is enclosed. If you authorize a tender of your Old Notes, the entire principal amount of Old Notes held for your account will be tendered unless otherwise specified on the instruction form. Your instructions should be forwarded to us in ample time to permit us to submit a tender on your behalf by the Expiration Date.

             The Exchange Offer is not being made to, nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of, holders of the Old Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making of the Exchange Offer or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction or would otherwise not be in compliance with any provision of any applicable securities law.

  Very truly yours,
