Deep dives
Summary of First Main Idea/Key Point/Insight
Equifax, the credit bureau, has transformed itself into a monopoly in the income verification services market. It sells data about individuals' incomes and workplaces to lenders, landlords, employers, and government agencies. Equifax's dominant market position, along with contractual arrangements that exclude rivals, allows it to charge high prices and exert significant pricing power. This monopoly power has been highlighted by the CEO's admission of significant price increases and the lack of alternatives for income verification services. The lack of competition in the market has implications for data privacy, consumer rights, and the potential for abuse.
