Every creditor, before taking a decision regarding approval of credit, will ask for the credit history of the applicant. He can find this information in the credit report. Credit reports are prepared by three main agencies in the United States. They are Experian, Equifax and TransUnion. He might request reports from one or more of these agencies.
