About The 3 Major Credit Bureaus
If you have ever been turned down for credit for any reason, you
probably got a letter in the mail explaining that your credit was not
sufficient for whatever reason, and then from where that information
was gathered. Though some companies only go with one credit reporting
company, many more go with reports from all 3 major credit bureaus.
They to this for many reasons, and those reasons are the same ones you
should use to check up on your own credit. That could save you from
getting those rejection letters when you need a loan or line of credit.
The 3 major credit
bureaus are Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. They
have been around for a long time and set the standard for credit record
keeping and recording. If you have a delinquent account, they will know
about it. The reason that some will go with all three instead of just
checking with one of them is because some companies only report to one.
What is contained in one report from one company may not show up on
another. To get the true story, getting information from all three
major credit reporting bureaus is a good idea.
When rejected for credit reasons, you will see which of the 3 major
credit bureaus was consulted about your credit, if not all. When you
get such a letter, you have thirty days to write in and ask for a copy
of that credit report. When this happens, you should always take
advantage of the offer. This is because in most cases, you are going to
have to pay for the information. There is now a program that allows you
to get one free report a year, but that is not often enough in some
cases. You want to know what is going on, and then how you can fix it.
Another thing that the
3 major credit bureaus can help you with is
protecting you from identity theft. They help in the way that shows
listings of credit that you may not have taken out and that is now in
default. Though this is a slow way to learn about this happening,
sometimes it is the first clue that something is not right. When you
see something on a report from any of the 3 major credit bureaus that
is not of your doing, contact them immediately and then go through the
proper channels to see what you can do to stop the activity.
