The Three Major Credit Reporting Agencies

Experian

Equifax

Transunion

What do the credit reporting agencies (CRAs) do?

Collect and maintain information about consumers credit history. This information is obtained from banks, credit card companies and various financial institutions.

The CRAs sell this information to lenders and other creditors.

The CRAs are not part of the government.

Are Credit Reports Accurate?

Nearly 80% of all consumer credit reports have significant errors

25% of which are serious enough to potentially result in a credit denial

How do these errors occur?

Loans, payment data or credit card information is applied to the wrong account

When filling out credit applications with different names, i.e., Bill Smith versus William Smith

Your Social Security number was entered incorrectly on the application

A clerical error was made when the lender transferred the data from the application

Who regulates the credit reporting agencies?

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is designed to promote the accuracy of the information in consumer credit reports

The Federal Trade Commission is the government agency responsible for enforcing the FCRA

What are Credit Scores?

A method that uses statistical models to evaluate your credit worthiness

Reflective of a borrower's past payment history, outstanding credit balances, and available credit capacity at a given point in time

Creditors use these scores, known as FICO scores, when deciding whether or not to offer credit to consumers

FICO scores range from 300 to 850 points

Other Names for Credit Scores

650 or higher - Indicates a very good credit profile. People falling into this range will usually be able to obtain credit quickly and at a good interest rate. 620 to 650 - The range which most credit scores fall. However, these consumers may find that potential creditors could require additional documentation for larger loans and the loan process may take longer as a result. 620 or lessMay mean higher interest rates for borrowers. This does not mean that credit will be denied. The process will probably take longer and will be on less than ideal terms.

The following table is based on a $100,000 30-year fixed mortgage from myfico.com.

Establishing Good Credit

5 ways to establish credit

Apply for a gasoline or department store charge. These are usually easier to obtain than other credit cards.

Apply for a secured credit card. You will be required to deposit a specified amount, usually $300 to $500 dollars into an account in their bank, and you will be issued a major credit card in the amount of the deposit.

5 ways to establish credit
(continued)

Take out a small loan from your credit union or bank. Deposit the money into your savings account and pay the loan back monthly.

If you currently have credit, ask your creditors to increase your credit limit. This will improve your credit utilization ratio thereby improving your credit score.

If you do not have a checking and savings account, apply for both. Having these accounts establishes you as part of the financial community and allows you to manage your money.
