Equifax Information Services, Experian Information Solutions and TransUnion agreed to pay a total of 6 million to settle multistate allegations relating to their handling of consumer disputes about credit report errors, monitoring and disciplining data furnishers (providers of credit reporting information), accuracy in consumer credit reports, and the marketing of credit monitoring products to consumers who call the credit reporting agencies to dispute information on their credit report. The settlement did not specify how the 6 million cost would be split among the three companies; we assume each paid 2 million.
