Credit Reports can make or break your success when it comes to lending money. But why is that? And how can you increase your chances of getting money from lenders by having a perfect credit report? That's what this special article is all about.<\/p>\n

The definition of a credit report:<\/p>\n

What exactly is a credit report?<\/h2>\n

First of all, what exactly is a credit report, and why is it so important? Basically, your credit report can be a financial asset that determines which financial product you can access. You can consider your credit report as your financial CV. This credential piece of information helps lenders to predict your possibility of paying back the borrowed money.<\/p>\n

Your credit report includes details about your credit accounts (and whether or not you kept up with paying them back), your address, and all of your financial connections. It is also about how much you currently owe to lenders, as well as county court judgments (CCJs<\/a>) made against you, in case there are some available. If you have been declared bankrupt, then it will also be the main part of your credit report, of course.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s not included in your credit report.<\/p>\n

It does not contain how much money you have in your current account. Your salary is excluded from the pieces of content of your credit report, too. Savings accounts are also not a part of the credit report, as well as student loans. If you were a criminal in the past or not - it will not be found in your credit report, as well as your medical history. Parking and driving fines can happen, but they won't be found inside your credit report. Council tax arrears are also not included in your credit report.<\/p>\n
