Why is it important to get a copy of my credit reports from Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union?
A. So many people and businesses judge us by what is on our credit reports. Obviously creditors do this – will they make us a loan or not make us a loan? Apartment complexes also look at credit reports to decide whether or not to lease an apartment to us. Even our jobs can look at our credit reports to see if we should be hired, promoted, or keep our security clearances. As one person described them, credit reports are the only report cards that matter for us as adults.
