Your Credit Report
It is the power of your credit report, which can’t
be underestimated by a consumer. A low interest rate or a
high interest rate or whether you will be able to get a new
charge card are the difference between getting a loan or being
turned down. Your name, address, telephone number, social
security number and your date of birth are the basic information
contain in the credit report. There are more information can
come to your credit report information. Your alias name, former
address, old telephone number are also listed. If you have
an unlisted telephone number, it can come with the rest of
your report information.
You may be surprised to see but unlisted phone number will
be listed in the credit report document. Another important
information is your phone number, which is also included in
the credit report.
Many people are surprised to find that unlisted phone numbers
can be included in this document, but they can be.
Another piece of important information that is included is
your employment history. This may not seem relevant or even
fair but creditors need to determine a person’s capacity
to make timely payments. In order to do so your employment
history has to be included in the credit report information
to establish that you have a stable source of income.
Some people are shocked to discover that their loan or credit
applications are turned down simply because they have just
started a new job. A person with little history included on
their credit report information may not get a loan or a line
of credit if they have only been working for a company for
a few weeks or months. The person has demonstrated no stability
and there is little else the creditor has to go by aside from
payment history.
There are some things that are not relevant to employment
so they are intentionally left out of your credit report information.
Your age, race and marital status are off limits to a prospective
employer who is conducting a search on you.
Bankruptcies that are over ten years old and debts that are
over seven years old are supposed to be removed. Even so,
it is a good idea to look into your history no matter what.
Some old debts may still show up and bankruptcies may not
disappear in a timely manner. It is highly recommended to
check your credit report information and attempt to correct
or remove inaccurate information and errors.
Don’t underestimate the power of your credit report.
The information contained on it can mean the difference between
getting a loan or being turned down, a low interest rate or
a high interest rate, or whether you’ll be able to get
a new charge card.
