a Credit Report puts a lot of importance in making of every activities of an individual in pursuance of past line of performances. To be more precise, a Credit Report for each individual reflects the financial stability as well as credibility of the concerned person & opens up a fair view up on his/her financial positions, prudence in making payments, compliance of the credit conditions etc etc. Accordingly a credit record takes in to account all these financial as well as other relevant obligations to opine in to a three digit figure & in every aspect our living space, such figure( commonly known as credit score) is of immense importance. Hence, for obvious reason all of us need to take care of all the facts that concludes up on credit report & necessarily essential to keep a trace of our credit report & the changes if any there in to ensure an effective score. Moreover, following up the Credit Report from any of the reputed bureaus like Eqifex, TransUnion & Experian is not good enough.. rather need to compare among credit reports from all the available sources. It is not always essential that credit report from each of these bureaus will carry similar facts & figure since the fundamental reporting factors are varies accordingly & creditors can subscribe to any of such agencies as per their choice.
For many peoples, proper following up of all the facts stated in a credit report is a furious ask. Hence, I found it will be convenient to clarify the contents of a credit report. Lets take a wise look in to a Credit Retort details.

A credit Report is classified into the following four distinctive segments..

Identifying Information

Every personal information of an individual is retained under this section. Here the fairness of the report rests in the accuracy of each intimate details including mistake in spelling of any personal data to missing out any vital one or intimating any change in existing records.

Credit History:

Each individual credit accounts or trade lines along with name of the respective creditors are listed with the following details like the opening details of the account, type of credit availed in to, including installment types(car, mortgage etc) as well as revolving types( credit card debts), account types i.e, whether it is holded solely or jointly, the credit amount & the extent of repayment made, the amount of each installment & of course the extent of credit availed in respect to the permissible credit limit. Here, the previous payment track backs & the prudence in making of such payments are also considered. In Experian's Credit Report credit status of the individual is defined in simple term so that everyone can earn a fair idea from it. If any account is remarked as charged off, it signifies that the concerned creditor has given up the collection & puts a negative impact in to the credit report. For other reports, creditworthiness & credibilites of each individual is evaluated in a single digit number in between 1 to 9. Accordingly expressions like R1 or I1 significantly hints into the soundness of the credit report.

public record

In a Credit Report, events like filing bankruptcies, any penal charges previously levied or legal verdicts or court judgments made etc that requires public intimation are maintained under this section. Hence least remarks here in carries more respect in the credit report. However this section does not necessarily includes any criminal proceedings aginst such person in concern.

Inquiries

This segment in a credit report shows the list of the peoples who placed interest over his/ her credit report along with the details of each of their hard as well as soft inquiries. It includes every petty quarries to hard inquiries like request for a copy of credit report from the respective bureaus. Among these, hard inquiries are generally initiated by the potential lenders & creditors on filling up of credit application form. Again a soft inquiries are commonly found among companies on issue of promotional information to prequalified individuals. Although in this point, it is widely belied that maximum number of inquiries can make a negative impression on the credit report, every major bureaus has never paid much attention on this issue & moreover FICO scoring model clearly denies any such public presumptions.
