Whats a Consumer Credit Report?
A consumer credit report is an objective record of an individual’s credit payment history. Credit grantors are permitted by law to review your credit report to objectively determine whether to grant you credit. There are 190 million credit active people in the United States who have a charge account, car loan, student loan, or home mortgage. As these people pay their bills, most lenders report credit payment history information to credit bureaus. So most of the information in your consumer credit report comes directly from the companies with which you do business.
