Credit Guide

"What kind of information is on my credit report -and how can I see it?" is a common question among people who have had trouble securing credit or loans. Basically, your personal credit report is an electronic record of all of your credit activity including recent requests for credit that you have applied for and the payment activity on any open or closed credit or loans you may have. This history is vitally important because lenders use your credit report to determine if they are willing to extend loans or credit to you.

There are four main areas of content on your credit report: Identifying information, credit history, public records, and credit inquiries. Additionally, a credit report also shows any current credit that you have, including loans, debts and credit limits. It also has the payment amounts on installment loans.
