A regular consumer agency collect and sell information about the creditworthiness of individuals. A credit reporting agency doesn't make any decisions about whether a specific person should be extended credit or not. Instead, it collects information that it considers relevant to a person's credit habits and history, and uses this information to assign a credit score to indicate how creditworthy a person is.
