Credit Profile, understanding it is very important.
Your credit profile gives a detail of your credit history as it has been reported to the credit reporting agencies by lenders who have extended credit to you.
Your profile lists what types of credit you use, the length of time your accounts have been open, and whether you've paid your bills on time.
It tells lenders how much credit you've used and whether you're seeking new sources of credit.
It’s a picture of how you paid back the businesses you have borrowed money from. It also shows how you have met other financial obligations. Credit scores are not part of this profile.
There are usually five categories of information on a profile:
Identifying Information
Employment Information
Credit Information
Public Record Information
Inquiries
There are many items that are NOT included on your credit file, including:
Your Race
Your Religion
Your Health
Your Driving Record
Your Criminal Record
Your Political Preference
Your Income
If for any reason you believe that your credit file has been compromised you need to take immediate action.
