I went looking to create an account for employment verification at Equifax about a week ago. It was via different channel that this Krebs one, where you go to the product page and can sign up for a one time check for around $40 IIRC. And it does require you to affirm you have permission from the employee before getting their data. How they verify that is beyond me. I would love to know if there is a way to see what data is held on me, and who has requested it.

> How they verify that is beyond me. They don't. It's essentially an indemnification clause that they can point to as a copout if their service gets abused and a victim of that abuse comes looking. "They said they had permission. We're just an innocent third party that they lied to. Go take it up with them." more or less
