Tip of the Week

Credit bureau reporting advice: Take the completed credit application the consumer filled out and verify the information with a credit reporting agency. The three major national sources of this information about consumers are: Equifax, at 1-888-202-4025 or www.equifax.com, Experian, at 1-888-217-6064 or www.experian.com, and TransUnion, at 1-312-466-7363 or www.transunion.com. Their addresses are as follows:

* Equifax
P.O. Box 740241
Atlanta, GA 30374-0241
(800) 685-1111.
* Experian
P.O. Box 2104

In order to receive consumer credit reports, you will need to subscribe to the reporting agency's service. Once you've subscribed, you can order credit reports. Each credit report comes with a credit risk score, which predicts how likely this person is to default on a loan.
