Useful Information About Credit Report
Addresses
Credit reports usually carry such
information as your personal details, credit accounts and the
transactions, people who have been looking at your reports, all
the lenders you have borrowed loans from and how you repaid
them. Your addresses form part of your personal details.
Finding something such as a transaction you do not know about
is easier since you only look at the relevant section in your
report.
The reports normally come with a number of
addresses including your address and the addresses of your
creditors. It is important to have all the addresses of the
three credit reporting bureaus because you will definitely need
them. You need to know how to contact them whenever you want to
access your credit report or need to send a dispute letter to
them. The telephone numbers come in handy when you want to call
them to confirm something. In case you are an identity theft
victim, the address on your report may be showing a different
location probably given by the person who is using your credit
cards hence verifying your address every time you get your
report is one way to discover that.
Your own address must be correct at all
times to avoid your reports being sent to another location. The
best is to get a three in one credit report and check that the
previous and current addresses showing on the reports are the
same and correct. Credit report addresses also help you find
the contacts of all the lenders you have dealt with and use to
communicate to them in case of anything such as wrong entries
on your report provided by them. It is important to check the
details of the creditors to make sure they are the ones you
borrowed loans from and that the details they provided are
accurate.
You can browse online to get the addresses
of the three credit reporting agencies if you have never dealt
with them before to request for the reports. The address for
reporting identity theft is also given and this is important
when you realize your identity is being used by someone
else.
