List of Consumer Reporting Companies

You may know that your credit record affects your ability to get an affordable loan, a job, an apartment, or many other essentials of daily life. But, do you know where and how to actually request your credit report and what you can do once you order your consumer reports?

The list of consumer reporting companies, updated for 2018, provides information about consumer reporting companies that collect information and provide reports to other companies about you. Companies then use these reports to inform decisions about providing you with credit, employment, residential rental housing, insurance, and in other decision making situations.

The list includes the three nationwide consumer reporting companies and several other reporting companies that focus on certain market areas and consumer segments. The list gives you tips so you can determine which of these companies may be important to you. It also makes it easier for you to take advantage of your legal rights to obtain the information in your consumer reports, and  dispute suspected report inaccuracies with companies as needed.

Where possible I recommend adding a Freeze to your record with any consumer reporting agency.
