The credit report contains a whole host of information used by the lender to decide whether they will lend to you or not.
In the UK there are 3 credit reference agency that hold information about your credit. They are Equifax, Experian & TransUnion. Not all the agencies may hold the same information. For example, a loan provider may report the payment records to one agency and not to the other. Its important to get all three to be sure.
You are able to obtain your credit report for free for a period of time. After this the agencies may charge. There are also now credit sights that offer the report for free but don’t have the level of detail needed.
