What is Included on a Credit Report?
Chicago Consumer Lawyers
If you’re looking to repair your credit, the first place you’ll need to start is by looking at your credit report. Your credit report measures your overall creditworthiness by showing your borrowing history and how diligent you have been in paying your debts. Those with the highest credit scores get the best mortgage terms, interest rates, car loans, and credit cards, while those who struggle with debt could face major difficulties in these and other areas.
While it may take time to rebuild your credit, you can boost your score by carefully monitoring your credit report and understanding what is and is not included on the report. Understanding how certain elements affect credit is an important part of maintaining it, especially when it comes to errors on your report.
Credit reporting errors are more common than you might imagine, and if they are not addressed, can have a negative effect on your ability to obtain financing or important loans. If you notice any irregularities on your credit report, report them at once to the credit agency. If the errors are not correct in a timely manner, it is in your best interests to speak with an attorney at Atlas Consumer Law to assert your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
