Equifax, the Atlanta business that is one of the country’s three major credit-reporting companies, made more money on credit reporting as its non-mortgage businesses improved.

Profits at Equifax rose 13.4 percent in the third quarter as four of the company’s five business units showed double-digit revenue increases.

The company expects its earnings for the year to be up between 10 and 12 percent, consistent with what it said earlier in the year.
