What is a Credit Score?
A credit score is made up of information which is held in your credit report. It shows information which is used by the lender to help them to decide whether to lend to you.
Your credit report can be accessed by you, lenders, employers, landlords and insurers, although, to be accessed by anyone but yourself, you will need to provide them with permission or written consent before they can access it.
Credit Reports show information such as:
- Personal Information – Your name, date of birth, current and previous addresses, social security number, phone number, employers.
- Accounts – A list of credit accounts and the details of people who are financially linked to you.
- Public Record Information – Bankruptcies
