Whenever a person applies for a loan of any sort – whether it is a mortgage, a personal loan, or even a credit card, their credit report is pulled and scrutinized. Everyone knows this. However, what isn’t as widely known is the mass amount of information available within these credit reports and histories.

There are three primary national credit bureaus in the United States. Each agency’s primary form of business is the reporting of credit information that will enable their clients to learn certain facts about a perso

Experian, formerly known as TRW – www.experian.com
Equifax – www.equifax.com
Trans Union – www.transunion.com

So, what information is on a credit report? Is it just data that pertains to an individual or to a business’s finances? Or is o

Their total credit score. The score is made up of three individual parts. One-third is based on the subject’s payment history, one-third is based on their debt/credit ratio, and the final third is a compilatio

Individual credit information. Credit history – including payments, lines of credit, secured loans, and any other type of debt the subject may have. The information here is detailed. The reports break down what the total amount of credit is per loan, what each balance is, as well as a detailed payment history.

Basically, the consumer files from these national agencies are vast and often include far more than basic credit worthiness. Local and/or regional credit reporting agencies may have even more in-depth, and more detailed, data on individuals and businesses in their local area.

Also, it is smart to be aware of what information is on your own credit report. This is extremely important for a variety of reasons, but mainly, to be sure your report is accurate. Though, if you have suspicions that someone

To obtain a credit report on someone other than yourself, you must have a “legitimate business need,” as well as, in most cases, a signed release. Some of these legitimate business reasons may include:

Approving loans of any sort (from a mortgage to a credit card). This is fairly obvious. Any institution that loans money, in whatever form, has the legal right to request credit history information on their applicants.

Collection proceedings for bad debt. If an individual, or business, has not paid a debt back, the lending institution may begin collection proceedings with or without a collection agency. Credit reports are almost always used in these proceedings.

So, what do you do if you are in need of a credit report other than your own, and you do not fall into one of these prior categories? Well, unfortunately, to actually retrieve an official credit report – there’s not a whole lot you can do. Even online information brokers need to be extremely careful that the users of their databases have a legitimate business purpose – which means you’d probably have to verify this to utilize their services.
