Never pay for a credit history report. It is now possible to obtain a free credit report from each of the three credit reporting agencies once a year. Be smart and request a free report from each agency every four months so that you can stay current year round. Also, if you ever apply for credit and are turned down, you may request a free credit report from the credit reporting agency the credit check was obtained from. Credit reporting agencies also offer reports during their free trial memberships. Simply cancel your membership before you are obligated to pay anything.

How can your credit affect your employment?

Most people know that your credit report history can affect the rates you pay for mortgages and auto loans. Few people, however, are aware of how your credit history can affect employment. The majority of employers conduct a background check on their applicants and many screen for credit history. This used to be prevalent only in the financial sector, but it is a now widespread practice. A poor credit report history may signal to an employer that you are not trustworthy, are unable to manage money and may compromise the company. Before applying for a job, it is helpful to get a copy of your credit report history.

How will it effect your credit score if you pay your mortgage car and credit cards on time but are sometimes late with your utilities?

You need to find out and tell us whether or not your utility company(s) report to the credit bureaus. Some do normally, others only report when you pay late, others only report when you get turned over to collection, others never report. There is no way to know which category your specific utility companies fall into.


Is it good to pay off old bad credit on your credit report?

No. If you have an old deliquency on your credit history and you now decide to pay it, all you're doing is refreshing an old debt on your credit history. Ex. If you owe a credit card 400 bucks from let's say, 2000, and you pay it now, creditors will see that it took over six years for you to pay it and it will remain in negative status on your history. Remember that after seven years your credit gets a clean start again, so might as well let it run for 7 years. Leslie

Not without suing. It's a credit report. You are not a creditor. If you sued and got a jugdment and she didn't pay then that would be on the credit report
