Credit Report Scores - Who Determines Them?

There are three major credit reporting agencies: , , and .

Each of these credit reporting agencies receives information from credit grantors such as credit card companies, stores granting credit, mortgage companies, and banks. They compile your credit history and compute your credit report scores.

They provide your history and credit report scores to others who have a genuine interest in your credit worthiness.

ChexSystems Problem?

The ChexSystems is a network of banks and credit unions that share information about mishandled checking and savings accounts. This information is used to help member banks and credit unions determine their credit risk in opening a new account for potential customers.

Like a credit bureau, the ChexSystems

• Receives data from member institutions
• Maintains the data for 5 years or until it must delete the data according to law, and
• Distributes data to member institutions.

Member financial institutions then use that data to evaluate their risks for new accounts.

If you have been rejected for an account in the last 60 days you are entitled to a free copy of your personal ChexSystems consumer report. You can do this online at the ChexSystems Help website.

If your report shows negative items that you have already cleared up you should contact the financial institution reporting the problem. Ask them to notify ChexSystems that the problem item is closed.

To dispute other items on your ChexSystems report, submit a letter indicating why the item should be corrected or removed to:
