== == Credit reporting agencies (eg. Equifax) gather, store, and update information about the credit history of individual consumers based upon information that is reported by third parties. This information is then compiled into a consumer credit report, which summarizes a person's credit history.
Credit reports provide detailed information on the personal credit and payment history of individuals, indicating how they have honored financial obligations such as paying bills or repaying a loan.
The credit reporting agency Equifax provides a website with helpful information on credit. It's written for the general public, so it's very easy to read: http://learn.equifax.com. I highly recommend it.

What is a credit report?
Credit Report - If you've ever applied for a credit card, loan, insurance, or a job, there's a file about you. This file contains information on where you work and live, how you pay your bills, and whether you've been sued, arrested, or filed for bankruptcy. Companies that gather and sell this information are called Consumer Reporting Agencies (CRAs). The information CRAs sell about you to creditors, employers, insurers, and other businesses is called a credit report. Banks and other companies use your credit report to assess your credit worthiness. So at times when an individual has been turned down for a loan or credit it is the information held in the credit report which is an issue. In other circumstances, credit reports also also used in getting the capacity of an individual to pay their mortgage credit or any other type of loan. Even when an individual has a poor credit report, he/she can still improve it by paying his/her debts and settling payments and other important credits. Credit report is a snapshot of everything you have ever done in your life that has involved your use of credit. Try to visit Simple Credit Online for more advise.

Credit History Free With More Information?
If consumers had been refused loans for less-than-favorable circumstances, they should obtain a credit report from one of the credit bureaus. In most cases, consumers are allowed one free credit report a year. Recent rules under the Consumer Protection Act now require lenders who have refused consumers to disclose credit scores. This is not full credit report disclosure. But the rules will probably influence consumers to seek out full credit reports and began the task of responsibly repairing their credit. The new rules influence a more open and helpful atmosphere in the credit business.
