Your credit report can affect more areas of your life than just your ability to get a loan or credit card. Businesses can use the information contained in your credit report to evaluate your application for credit, insurance, and employment. Credit reports can contain information on your employment, your residence, and your bill payment habits. Also, they may show whether you have had a civil judgment filed or may have filed for bankruptcy. You can also find your credit score within your credit report. A credit score is a number that reflects all of the information found in a credit report. Consumers who have higher credit scores generally will get more favorable credit terms, while not having a credit score can affect whether you can get a loan and how much you will have to pay for that loan. Your credit score can change depending on how your credit history changes. Maintaining a good credit history and credit score is important and requires just a little bit of work.
The first step to maintaining a good credit history is to review your credit report regularly for inaccuracies or omissions.
