Credit Score Definition | CashAmericaToday

Credit Score

A credit report is a statement that takes an account of all the information regarding your past credit activities and your present credit handling status. This analysis of measuring the creditworthiness of an individual or business is then represented numerically and is termed as a credit score.

Credit Reports Are More Than Your Credit History

Credit reports have much more information than just your credit history. These also include the following:

Public records, such as bankruptcies, civil judgments, etc.
Your personal information like your name, social security number, contact numbers, and addresses, etc.
Inquiries about companies that have accessed your credit report.
All your credit accounts such as mortgage loans, credit cards, collections, auto loans, etc.

Importance of a Credit Report

When you apply for a loan from a lender, they use your credit report to know about your creditworthiness. It helps them to determine how likely you will repay your loans on time. Therefore, it is always better to have a good credit report to easily qualify for a loan.

Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)

There are three main credit bureaus in the US - Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax, apart from various other small credit bureaus. FCRA regulates all of them and restricts the provision of the credit reports. Therefore, these reports can be sent only to the creditors, employers, government authorities, landlords, etc., under appropriate circumstances.

Quick approval, I had a couple of questions on the loan before I accepted it. I had no problem getting ahold of someone to discuss this. They gave me a call to verify my payment options so there was no miscommunication. Great experience

Please note that this is an expensive form of borrowing. The loans and lines of credit may be used for whatever reason you need, like unexpected emergencies, car repairs, medical bills, or travel expenses. In addition, alternative forms of financing like credit card cash advances, personal loans, and home equity lines of credit might be more affordable and better suited to your needs.
