Usually I would more or less agree with this statement.
However, in Equifax's case you simply don't have a choice. If you participate in any way within modern society, they have your records. Every major financial corporation, and the government itself (child support enforcement, courts, etc.) have deals with this company to share credit information.
They are also supposedly "highly regulated" - but not in practice. One of the most slimy companies around imo.
