Credit Counseling – What Can I See in My Credit Report?
Mark Andrade asked:
Your credit report contains a snapshot of information about you and your credit history and can have a major impact on your life. Although each credit reporting agency formats and reports this information differently, all credit reports contain basically the same categories of information.
Personal Unique Identifying Information.
This includes your full name, any known aliases, current and previous addresses, date of birth, social security number, current and past employment information, plus similar information about your spouse when applicable. Usually it’s up to you to update this information and it does not apply in credit scoring calculations.
Account Information.
The accounts you have with banks, retailers, credit-card issuers, utility companies, and other lenders are listed by type of loan such as mortgage, student loan, revolving credit, or installment loan. Lenders report the date the account was opened, your credit limit, account balance, monthly payment, any co-signers, and payment history on each account you have established with them.
Account Inquiries.
Inquiries appear on your credit report when you apply for a loan and you authorize the lender to request your credit report. The list will include the names of everyone who accessed your credit report within the last year, or two years if the request was employment related. The report will differentiate between “voluntary” inquiries, triggered by your requests for credit, and “involuntary” inquires, such as when lenders order your report to determine your creditworthiness for a pre-approved credit offer.
Public Record Information
Credit reporting agencies are allowed to collect and report on public record information from state and county courts. This public record information includes bankruptcies, foreclosures, lawsuits, wage attachments, tax and other liens, judgments, and, in some states, overdue child support.
Collection Items.
Information on overdue debt from collection agencies is typically included on your credit report.
You are entitled to receive one free credit report every 12 months from each of the nationwide consumer credit reporting companies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. This annual credit report can be requested through AnnualCreditReport.com or by contacting the companies directly by phone or by mail.
To process your request, you will need to provide specific personal information, such as your name, current and previous addresses, telephone number, social security number, and date of birth. Also, to verify your identity, other information such as a copy of your driver’s license, utility bill, or bank statement may be required. Keep in mind that the three large credit bureaus do not necessarily share information with each other. The content of your credit report can be different at each bureau, so it’s a good idea to request copies from each one.

Personal Credit Report via The Internet
Posted by admin in Non Fiction on August 21, 2008
Mika Hamilton asked:
Many people are under the assumption that personal credit reports are private and can not be accessed by anyone else. However, this is simply not true.
A credit report is comprised of different information. All the information mentioned in your credit report is very important. Not only can your credit be tracked but in some cases so can your investments.
For example, there will be some identifying information like your name, address, Social Security number, date of birth and employment information. The Fair Credit Reporting Act states that your personal credit report can be obtained for any purpose. Businesses, friends, family, and future employees can take a look at your credit report at anytime.
There is at least another case to consider which will help consumers. The private citizens can access the personal credit report of any business that they are considering using in the future.
This loophole has created a huge market for the top three credit bureaus. They can easily sell your credit report for a full profit to anyone with or without your permission.
The reason why the Credit Reporting Agency has these rules that basically work against customers right is because people do not know that their personal credit reports can be obtained so easily, and the people who do know do not care.
Another problem arises from this lack of privacy – that criminals can access your credit report and then use your credit information including your name, address, and social security number. The best way to make sure you are not being taking advantage of is to obtain a copy of your own personal credit report and check it for errors.
Ignoring problems will only lead to more problems. Credit Bureaus are not very forgiving of identity fraud. If your credit score is low it can take a long time to repair and you have no real alternative but to wait and be patient.
As technology advances there will continue to be problems with criminals accessing personal credit reports and use them in illegal ways. Unless, we speak to our governmental officials, our credit and private information will be readily available to anyone who can pay the 9 dollars to access it. According to state law, all credit reporting agencies are required to provide you with two free copies of your personal credit report. You can do this by phone or online with Annualcreditreport.com, Equifax.com, and Experian.com. Remember to know your rights as a private citizen, and understand that information you believe to private may not be. Being educated and informed is the best way to prevent identity fraud and save your credit score.
Credit scores can affect your ability to just about anything including investing. People with local credit scores are considered high risk to investment companies and they would rather not deal with people who they may lose money too in the long run. Make sure your credit report is correct and up to date before you start investing.
