TransUnion A Good Credit Reporting Agency

by erin on March 14, 2011

TransUnion is one of the many credit reporting agencies that help in the reporting of a credit card holder’s history. It has been able to help many consumers in the United States to maintain their credit histories and a have a statement whenever they need one. All this information can help people to shape up their credit scores.

To show you how important this is, a person will need to produce a report when they need a loan, rent a house or even buy a car. In case there is an issue like an error that has been made on the reporting, the customer can file a dispute and the mistake will be corrected..

You should make sure that you have a copy every time you need to do all these things so that in case there will be anything wrong, you will be better placed to know what you will do. The law requires that this agency furnishes their clients with all the information they need every year by giving them a report.

Filing the form to get this, some of the things that a person should not forget to fill in will be their names and their card number as well as their social security number. The company where one got the card will also be important. Once all these details have been filled out, the form will then be submitted . This can be done either online or in person.

Every now and then, the client will need to check the status or their scores or file a dispute if they have had any problems. You have probably had cases where a person went to the bank to ask for a loan and they were asked to present a report of their credit. Because they were not diligent in looking at it, they are shocked to discover that they have very bad scores and they are denied the loan.

It is not always that a consumer will have bad credit report. If a person has been careful on how they spend and how they use their cards, they have nothing to worry about. A consumer should keep the number of credit cards closely monitored.  This way, they are sure to maintain them and will not be left with bad debt.

Note that a consumer will need to remove their consumer statement. An individual is allowed to do so whenever they want to or if there is a need to do so. This will be cancelled until the time they need to have the statement. If there is anything they do not understand from the statement, they should not ignore it but should take time to ask the agency about it.

Taking the report from TransUnion will help to clarify all those grey areas and all the negativity will be sorted out in time through credit monitoring. In case there is a mistake on the consumer’s report, what is wrong will be explained to them.
