Obtaining a copy of your credit report is easy. There are several companies from whom you can obtain your credit report. Trans Union, Experian, and Equifax are often the most used by consumers.

When getting a copy of your report, make sure that all the lenders you want reported report to the credit report company you are seeking a report from. If you do not do this you risk having to change your credit report later which will lengthen the amount of time it takes to get a credit card.

If there is a lender on your report that cannot be verified within 60 days then it must be removed. You may also remove lenders that have been inactive on your report for up to 7 years.
