2. Information Collectors

There are three main national credit-reporting agencies in the United States. They are Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. A fourth credit-reporting agency is Innovis Data Solutions. The first three are often linked together and offer an annual free credit report service under one website, found under free credit report or annual credit report on Internet search engines. They are for-profit credit report companies and are unaffiliated with the United States government. After giving proper identification by answering a few questions, you will receive your free credit report instantly.

In the United Kingdom, the three credit reporting agencies, called credit reference agencies, are Experian, Equifax, and Callcredit. Callcredit works closely with TransUnion. These agencies are bound by the Data Protection Act. They must provide accurate, reliable, and updated information on individuals. Their activities are under the Consumer Credit Act of 1974 by UK law. In the United States, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is a federal law that regulates who has access to your credit report information. It also regulates how your credit report information can be used. Beginning in 1970, the law has been significantly amended at least twice.

3. Correcting Errors

Each credit-reporting agency must abide by the laws that govern them. If there is an error on your credit report score or in the entirely of your annual credit report, by law you have the right to report the error and settle the matter. This is why it is important to obtain an annual credit report. Checking and maintaining records at least once per year from this free credit report service will make any out of the ordinary material stand out. You must report any inaccuracies or errors in writing. Send a copy of the erroneous credit report to each credit-reporting agency. Within 30 to 45 days you will receive a response from each credit-reporting agency. You should then obtain another copy of your credit report to make sure that all errors have been corrected.

If you are unhappy with the results of the changes that were made and still believe that errors exist, then you may write a brief statement of up to 100 words to each credit reporting agency. You may also ask that the corrected copy of your free credit report be sent to anyone who inquired of your report within the last six months. The same request may be done for employers who have inquired within the last two years. You may also follow these procedures, if you believe you have been a victim of identity theft. Under the rights stated in the FCRA, you may ask businesses to stop reporting credit report information about you to a credit-reporting agency, if identity theft is in question. Be specific with the information you want them to leave out and make your request in writing. You will also need to have proof of your identity theft report. Certain states will allow you to put a security freeze on your Equifax credit report. Check with Equifax to see if your state participates in this procedure and what information they may require from you in writing. Fees will apply, but it may be worth the peace of mind to keep your identity safe.

4. What is Included in a Credit Report

Your credit report is a compilation of your credit history. This includes a variety of information. When you fill out a credit application, your personal information from this form is included on your credit report. This information consists of your name, including previous ones you have used, addresses past and present, current and previous employers, your date of birth, and Social Security number. Along with private information, public records may also be on your credit report. A credit-reporting agency may collect such information as overdue child support payments, bankruptcies, liens, and other courts of law information. Your credit report may contain such details for seven to ten years.

Inquiries also remain on your credit report for up to two years. If you have applied for several credit cards recently and these companies have made inquiries into your credit report, then this could have a negative effect on you. Too many inquires are noticeable, and companies or employers may look into the details as to why they were made and how often. It could show instability if you have applied for several credit cards because others have hit their maximum balances. Lenders, landlords, insurance companies, and service providers in Michigan all may make an inquiry into your credit report. Account information such as balances, authorized users, and active or inactive accounts will be available to them. Equifax lists a number of companies and individuals that can view your credit report and your credit report score. They also list information that is allowed and that which is prohibited to show up on your credit report.
