Best Answer

Credit reports generally tell creditors about your current and past credit history. They include things like the amounts of credit extended, the highest balance that you held, current balances, how long the accounts have been active, if and when you were late on a payment,how late the payment was, etc. They can then use this information to determine the risks associated with lending you money.
