When taking on the arduous process of fixing your credit, it is important to not only fix what is reporting on your credit reports with the three major credit reporting agencies, but it is just as important to know what the consumer reporting agencies are saying about you as well. Not only that, but before shopping for necessities, such as, private medical, auto, homeowner’s, disability, long-term care insurance, rental property, auto loans, consumer loans, installment loans, etc. you should know what information potential lenders will be looking for before approving your application.
