A Credit Report is a document that contains information about an individual’s credit situation, which includes information about their credit accounts, credit limits, credit cards, loans, and other types of data that describes the individual’s credit history. Depending on the content of this document, the individual can be approved or rejected for a loan, insurance, an apartment to rent, or a job.

Many companies that provide services for individuals prefer to check their Credit Reports before making a decision whether they would like to work with them or not. Having mistakes or incomplete data can end up with the individual being rejected in many different situations. That is why if the individual noticed an error in their Credit Report, they should immediately send a Credit Dispute Letter to a company that provided the report which is known as a credit bureau or a credit reporting company.
