Personal Credit Report
Your personal credit report is an electronic record of your credit activities. These activities include borrowing money to buy a car, applying for a loan or credit card and your payment history of the loans you have taken. Every time you apply for credit or a loan, potential lenders use this report to see how you use credit and how much of it you have available.
According to TransUnion, one of the three major credit bureaus, there are four main areas of content in your personal credit report: Identifying information, credit history, public records, and credit inquiries. Your credit report also shows any current credit that you have. This includes amounts owed, amounts available, like on a credit card or other form of revolving credit and payment amounts on installment loans.
When lenders evaluate your loan request they use the information on this report to generate your credit rating. The higher this rating, the more likely you will receive the loan and at more favorable terms. If you are planning on applying for credit anytime soon, it's a good idea to take a look at your credit report before the people reviewing your application do. This will ensure that you aren’t caught off guard by any unpleasant surprises that may be on your credit report. Many people have found errors on their credit report that were bringing down their credit score.
Luckily, getting a copy of your credit report is easy and if you request it from the right place it can also be free!

If you find errors or false information on your credit report, they can be disputed and corrected. However, correcting these mistakes can sometimes be a lengthy process. That is why it is the best idea to keep a watchful eye on your credit report activity at all times in addition to checking it before you plan to apply for credit or a loan. That way, if any errors ever do make their way on to your credit report you can save valuable time by correcting them before you are ready to apply for your next loan.
