Your credit report may be one of your most important assets. It documents your outstanding loans, account balances, and payment history with businesses that have extended credit in your name, including your mortgage company, banks, credit card issuers, and more. Any tax liens, court-awarded judgments, settlements, charge-offs, and bankruptcies also appear.
Additionally, each time a company or an individual (other than yourself) obtains a copy of your credit file, it is counted as an "inquiry." This access may be legitimate, as in the case when you have applied for a loan. However, frequent or "excessive" inquiries—especially when you are not actively seeking new credit—may be a sign of identity thieves at work. Such a scenario suggests that someone may be using your personal information to commit fraud. |
