A credit report is a detailed account of your credit history that determines your credit score. On your credit report, you will see a summary of every credit or loan account you have taken out and your payment history, if you have missed payments or quit paying altogether, that will be reflected and you will see a lower credit score. If you have made your payments on time and have a reasonable amount of accounts, that will also be reflected, as well as if there have been any inquiries into your credit score. (more…)
