What are your financial goals? Perhaps it’s the security of owning your dream home, perhaps it’s taking on the challenge of running your own business. Maybe you’re looking to get a new phone contract. Whatever your definition of success, checking out your credit report is a good first step. A credit report provides one picture of your personal credit history. When you apply for credit, your lender will look at your credit report to help them assess your credit worthiness. At Experian, we believe knowledge is power, which is why you can access your Experian Credit Report any time for free.
