Equifax Completes Purchase of CSC Credit Services

Updated

On Friday, Equifax announced that it has completed its purchase of "certain business assets and the operations" of Computer Sciences' CSC Credit Services -- the largest independent consumer credit reporting agency in the United States. Equifax had previously announced the $1 billion acquisition on Dec. 3.

In that earlier statement, Equifax had noted that it expects its new subsidiary to produce $230 million in revenues by the end of 2012 and earn $100 million in operating income.

Both companies' shares traded down today, with Equifax declining 0.6% to $53.41, and Computer Sciences dropping 0.3% to $39.11.
