Credit Bureaus & Reporting Agencies

Credit bureaus or reporting agencies store information on how you repay your loans. These companies are not responsible for making any credit related decisions regarding your loans. They simply keep track of your repayment history and the loans you have taken over the course of your life.

These bureaus or credit reporting agencies act as the middleman between borrowers and lenders and provide lenders with a valuable tool when it comes time to grant a loan. You as a borrower can argue the material contained in your report through a series of channels. Just as the borrowers report your history to the bureaus you may also question the material they report.

Below are the three major credit agencies in the world. Please contact these agencies directly regarding any information contained in your credit report.
