Credit Education & General Information
This page provides general educational information about credit reports and how credit information is collected and displayed.
Individual credit reports may vary.
What Is a Credit Report?
A credit report is a record of a consumer’s credit-related activity as reported by lenders and other authorized entities. Credit reports are maintained by credit reporting agencies and are used to help evaluate credit risk.
Credit reports may include:
- Account history
- Payment history
- Credit limits and balances
- Public records (when applicable)
- Credit inquiries
How Credit Information Is Reported
Lenders and creditors may report account information to one or more credit reporting agencies. Reporting frequency and content vary by creditor.
Because reporting is not centralized, information may:
- Appear on one credit report but not another
- Update at different times
- Be reported differently across agencies
Why Credit Report Accuracy Matters
Accurate credit reports help ensure that credit information reflects a consumer’s actual history. Reviewing reports allows consumers to identify information they believe may be inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated.
Consumers have the right to dispute information they believe is incorrect.
