Credit Repair Tips - How To Read A Credit Report

When you look at the top of a credit report, you will see the words "Prepared For" as well as "Attention." Prepared For will tell you what lender the credit report was actually made up for (who pulled the report), while the Attention blank will give you the actual name of a person and not just the company. Usually the Purpose of the Loan is also shown; and the Report Type will explain whether the credit report is for an individual or for a joint partnership.

Other sections that will be included on your credit report will be: Mortgage/Landlord Verification, Credit Summary (this can be the scary section), Vendor Errors (located right under the Credit Summary so you don't look completely incompetent, often times, depending on the section, they do), and Scoring. There is sometimes a reason that is labeled as to why the score is what it is, but not always. There is no rhyme or reason for these reports; the entire field is clearly not rocket science.
