Frequently asked questions
What is a credit report?
Credit reports are records of how you've handled credit accounts in the past. The three major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian and TransUnion — gather this data and sell it. Credit reports list your accounts and your payments, as well as any problems like late payments, collections or bankruptcies.
Are credit reports the same as credit scores?
No, credit reports list your credit history without interpretation. Credit scores, on the other hand, apply a formula to the data in your report to create a three-digit number predicting how likely you are to repay money as agreed. Two companies dominate credit scoring in the U.S.: FICO® and VantageScore®. NerdWallet partners with TransUnion® to provide your VantageScore® 3.0 credit score, based on information in your TransUnion® credit report. Credit score is only one factor lenders consider and they may not use the TransUnion VantageScore.
