They show where you work and live and whether you've been sued, arrested, or filed for bankruptcy. </p><h3>How are credit reports used?</h3><p>Credit reports help lenders decide if they'll give you credit or approve a loan. The reports also help determine what interest rate they will charge you. Employers, insurers, and rental property owners may also look at your credit report. You won't know which credit report a creditor or employer will use to check your credit. </p><p>Credit reporting agencies (CRAs) collect and maintain information for your credit reports. Each CRA manages its own records and might not have information about all your accounts. Even though there are differences between their reports, no agency is more important than the others. And the information each agency has must be accurate. </p><h3>Why should you check your credit report?</h3><p>Check your credit reports regularly to make sure that your personal and financial information is accurate. It also helps to make sure nobody's opened fraudulent accounts in your name. If you find <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220709214531/https://consumer.ftc.gov/articles/disputing-errors-your-credit-reports">errors on your credit report</a>, take steps to have them corrected.</p><h3>How do you check your credit report?</h3><p>On <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220709214531/https://www.annualcreditreport.com/index.action">AnnualCreditReport.com</a> you are entitled to a free annual credit report from each of the three credit reporting agencies.

It can help creditors determine whether to give you credit, decide the terms they offer, or the interest rate you pay. Having a high score can benefit you in many ways. It can make it easier for you to get a loan, rent an apartment, or lower your insurance rate.</p><p>Credit companies calculate your credit score using information from your credit report. The information that affects your score includes:</p><ul><li>Payment history</li><li>Outstanding balances</li><li>Length of credit history</li><li>Applications for new credit accounts</li><li>Types of credit accounts (mortgages, car loans, credit cards)</li></ul><p>Making sure your credit report is accurate ensures your credit score can be too. You can have multiple credit scores. The credit reporting agencies that maintain your credit reports do not calculate these scores. Instead, different companies or lenders who have their own credit scoring systems create them. </p><p>Your free annual credit report does not include your credit score, but you can <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220709214531/https://www.consumerfinance.gov/ask-cfpb/where-can-i-get-my-credit-score-en-316/">get your credit score</a> from several sources. Your credit card company may give it to you for free. You can also buy it from one of the three major credit reporting agencies.
