Frequently Asked Questions

A credit score is a three-digit number calculated to indicate your creditworthiness.  The higher the score, the more creditworthy you are to a lender.  A credit score is calculated from the information in your credit report and considers whether you have been making on-time payments, your revolving debt use, the length of your payment history, and other such factors.  It’s important to note that your score does not take your age, income, employment, marital status, or bank account balances into account.

Credit reports, also knowns as credit files, are composed of the credit-related data a credit reporting company has gathered about consumers from different sources. Credit reports include records of mortgage payments, credit card balances, credit card payments, auto loan payments, and credit inquiries.  It may also include accounts that have gone into collections, public records, and other information from government sources.

If you find incorrect information on your credit report, contact the company that issues the account or the credit reporting company that issued the report.  You can dispute any inaccuracies found on your TransUnion credit report by navigating to the bottom of the Credit Report module and clicking “dispute”.
