Good credit is essential in America today, because so many of
the things we want to buy must be financed or bought on credit.
And once you have a bad credit rating, it is nearly impossible to
avoid detection. A vast network of credit reporting agencies keeps
track of every American who does business or buys on credit.
These agencies are the gatekeepers of credit. Each time you apply
for credit through a bank, store or credit card agency, the
prospective lender typically checks your current credit rating
with one or more of these agencies.
There are nearly 2,000 credit bureaus in the United States, but
there are only a few large regional bureaus, which process
millions of credit reports each year and boast tens of thousands of
business subscribers. Subscribers are the many businesses that
pay to obtain the credit information contained in a bureau’s files.
Subscribers rightfully believe that the information contained in
your credit file is a good indication of your creditworthiness,
since how you have paid other creditors in the past is an
indication of how you may act in the future. Subscribers also use
your credit file to verify information you have provided on your
credit application.
Making sure that your credit report is accurate and up-to-date
is the first and best step you can take to ensure the strength of
your credit. Our program shows you how to access your credit
report and how to make the bureaus’ updates of your report work
to your advantage. Start today to build the credit you rating you
want.
