What is a credit report?

A credit report is a document used by lenders and service providers to help them make a decision whether to grant you a loan or credit facility when you ask for a loan, want to buy goods on credit or use a service on credit.

 

 

What’s in my report ?

Your credit report shows all of your credit obligations including past and present accounts. It also shows accounts with both negative(e.g. WRITTEN OFF) and positive statuses (.e.g. SETTLED IN FULL) and this is what our clients use to help them determine whether to grant you a loan or credit facility.

 

Our reports also show you who has been asking about you by listing which clients requested information about you and what kind of reports they requested.
