They are not obligated to give you a copy of a credit report.
You can get your credit report from all three credit companies by going to your local bank and asking a mortgage consultant to run your credit report.
No
Yes they do, Chase uses chexsystems and EWS. They also run a credit report. But if your credit report is good and you only have one entry in Chexs they might override your EWS report. Alot of banks that run your credit, to see if you are responsible and alot of times it will override your negative chexs or EWS report. This is the case with Bank of America also
Yes. If you are seeking a bank loan, the lender will want to see a business credit report in most situations.
There are many web-sites that will provide you with a copy of your own credit report if you ask for it ! You don't need to wait for someone to run your details through a credit agency - you can get your own report any time you want to.
Yes.
Yes, you can always get a credit score since it is simply an algorithm that is run against a "snap-shot" of your credit report. Disputes don't show up on your credit report - only the results so the resulting score won't be affected by the dispute until after it has been resolved.
You can 'freeze' your credit with the 3 credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and Transunion. If you do this, your credit can't be run unless you were to contact the bureaus again and 'unfreeze' the credit.
One does a credit history check by running a credit report. There are three major credit bureaus which handle this, and the most complete history is obtained by running a report through all three. There are ways to do this for free at least once a year. Once the credit history report is run, then the report should be looked over and any mistakes, particularly ones which reflect badly on the creditor, should be corrected.
Running your business credit report is free. You would need to contact DNB and request a Duns Number and an Eupdate password. Then you can go to http://eupdate.dnb.com and login and check your own report. I will warn you though, if you have not checked it before, or proactively tried to get vendors to report, chances are you do not have a strong business credit score because business credit is not automatic like personal credit. Only certain vendors report.
Just like Rent-a-Center... Aaron's does not run credit checks prior to the purchase of an item. Aaron's allow you to pay monthly installments without credit. However, they do report your payments to the credit bureau, which builds your credit. These are recent changes to Aaron's policy since they did not report to the Credit Bureaus to help customers build credit in the past.
