Item 8.01 Other Events.

Effective January 1, 2007, following a strategic review of its business which resulted in certain organizational changes, Equifax Inc. (the “Company”) reorganized its reportable segments as follows:

·                  U.S. Consumer Information Solutions consists of the former Marketing Services and North America Information Services operating segments (excluding U.S. Commercial Services and Canada).

·                  North America Commercial Solutions represents the Company’s commercial business for the United States and Canada that was formerly reported within North America Information Services.

·                  International consists of the Company’s consumer business in Canada and all of our businesses in Europe and Latin America.

·                  North America Personal Solutions was not affected by the organizational changes and continues to be reported on its historical basis but now as a reportable segment instead of a component of North America Information Services.

The Company is recasting the presentation of its reportable segments for all periods presented in certain sections of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (“2006 Form 10-K) to conform to the new reporting structure. Included in this Form 8-K are the following items recast only to reflect the above changes to the Company’s reportable segments:

·                  Business (Part I, Item 1);

·                  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”)(Part II, Item 7); and

·                  Financial Statements and Supplementary Data (Part II, Item 8).

Item 9.01.  Financial Statements and Exhibits.
