If I use Equifax Credit Report Control to lock my credit report, can any information, including new accounts, be posted to my Equifax credit report?
When your Equifax credit report is locked information from third parties continues to be added your credit report. No information is blocked from being posted. New accounts may still be reported to Equifax and posted to your credit file if a creditor opens an account utilizing a credit report from one of the other credit reporting agencies whose file you have not locked, if you grant access to a creditor by unlocking your Equifax credit report, or if an account is opened by a creditor with whom you already have a current account or relationship.
