LIST OF CONSUMER REPORT ING COMPANIES
Introduction
Below is a list of consumer reporting companies updated for 2020.
1
Consumer reporting
companies collect information and provide reports to other companies about you. These
companies use these reports to inform decisions about providing you with credit, employment,
residential rental housing, insurance, and in other decision-making situations. The list below
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 (1) obtain the information in your consumer reports,
and (2) dispute suspected inaccuracies in your reports with companies as needed.
Who can see your consumer reports?
Consumer reporting companies must follow legal restrictions but generally can provide consumer
reports and risk scores
to an array of businesses, including:
Lenders (including those that offer credit cards, home, pay day, personal, title, auto
including auto leasing, student loans, and security deposit financing and lease guarantees
on home rentals)
Employers, volunteer organizations, and government agencies to determine eligibility for
government assistance (employment screening)
Landlords and residential real estate management companies (tenant screening)
Banks, credit unions, payment processors and retail stores that accept personal checks
(check screening
)

LIST OF CONSUMER REPORT ING COMPANIES
Companies that market and sell products and services specifically to lower-income
consumers and subprime credit applicants, such as short-term lending and rent-to-own
businesses among others
Debt buyers and collectors
Insurance companies (health, life, property insurance screening)
Communications and utility companies (e.g., mobile phone, pay TV, electric, gas, water)
Retail stores for product return fraud and abuse screening as well as retail stores that offer
financing such as appliance and rent-to-own businesses, among others
Gaming casinos that extend credit to consumers and/or accept personal checks
You can get rejected without warning
With the exception of employment screening, users of consumer reports generally do not warn
you in advance if they are about to take an adverse action against you based in whole or in part on
your consumer report. Outside of employment screening, adverse action notifications are
provided after the fact, say, when maybe it’s too late and you have already been
rejected for a
loan, residential rental property or auto lease. The accuracy and completeness of your consumer
reporting data, therefore, is extremely important.
The good news is you have a meaningful role to play to help ensure your data is accurate and
complete. The first step is to request your consumer reports from the consumer reporting
companies you think might be important to you. The second step is to review your reports closely.
The third step is to dispute suspected inaccuracies as needed. This Introduction describes these
steps in detail, and also provides helpful information about how you can take greater control over
your consumer reporting data.
How to request a report?
Under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), all consumer reporting companies are
required to provide you a copy of the information in your report if you request it. Many must do
so every twelve months for free upon your request. Additionally, they must give you a free copy of
your information if you request it after an adverse action is taken against you based on
information in your report from that company and under other
specific circumstances. All
consumer reporting companies must provide you with a copy of your information for a
reasonable fee (for calendar year 2020, the maximum allowable
fee is $12.50). Requesting copies
of your own consumer reports does not hurt your credit scores. For companies required to
5
LIST OF CONSUMER REPORT ING COMPANIES
provide the information in your report for free annually upon request, they must do so within
fifteen days of receiving your request.
Not every consumer reporting company will have information on every consumer. A reporting
company that specializes in insurance claim data, for example, will likely not have information
about you if you have never filed an insurance claim. Also, some consumers with limited and/or
out-of-date credit histories (sometimes known as “credit invisibles) may not have enough
information for credit reporting companies to have reports about them. You may be one of those
consumers, although if you are making purchases using credit, or if you have credit that is
delinquent and is being reported on your credit reports by a debt collector, it’s unlikely.
You can get your report from most of the companies in this list for
free
Most consumer reporting companies especially the bigger nationwide companies will provide
your information to you for free. We tell you which do. A few companies in the list will also
provide you with a free risk score if you request it. We tell you which of those do as well.
Finally, your financial service providers might also provide you with free access to risk scores
.
Frequently these are the same scores they use to manage their credit relationships with you.
Upon review of this list and the helpful web links in it, you might decide that exercising your free
legal rights and taking advantage of free services are sufficient for your needs. Think carefully
about
paid credit monitoring. There are so many different kinds of scores available in today’s
marketplace, the credit scores and reports you buy or obtain from a third party website might
not be the ones lenders use to make decisions about you.
To order your report from a company listed below, click on the company link we provide. Some
companies have separate forms for requests by postal mail. We provide links to those forms for
you.

LIST OF CONSUMER REPORT ING COMPANIES
Know when to check a report
It’s important to fact-check your consumer credit reports from the three nationwide consumer
reporting companies (Equifax, T ransUnion, Experian) every twelve months to ensure they are
accurate and complete
, especially if you intend to purchase a home or car with credit, or otherwise
intend to apply for credit in the future. By virtue of a 2019 legal settlement, you can now also get
six additional free Equifax credit reports per year, as we describe below. Roughly 90% of
consumers with credit files aren’t taking advantage of the free benefit to request their credit
reports.
2
There isn’t just one” credit risk score, so it’s important to focus on the reporting
information itself from which risk scores are derived. If you are applying for a job, to rent a home,
or insurance policy, also fact-check your background screening reports to ensure there are no
errors.
We give you detailed tips on when best to check those reports in the sections below as
appropriate.
Data breaches are an unfortunate reality. If you have been, or fear you may become, a victim of
identity theft, fact-check your reports and consider blocking third-party access to your consumer
reporting data through a securityfreeze.” Below we tell you which company websites offer
additional information for you about your options to block third-party access to your consumer
reporting data for certain purposes.
Finally, be aware of your options
to take greater control of your consumer reporting data,
including also, if you want, to opt-out from credit and insurance direct marketing you might not
want to receive. There are also steps you can take to help keep your personal information secure.
These steps may include enrolling in identity theft protection services. However, it’s important to
understand the limits of identity theft protection services, and to consider the free alternatives
described herein, and by clicking-on the hyperlinks we provide. As the FTC says, “
no service can
protect you from having your personal information stolen.”
You have the right to dispute the information in your reports
If you find information in your consumer report that you believe is inaccurate or incomplete, you
have the legal right to dispute the report’s content with the consumer reporting company and the
company that shared the information to the reporting company, such as your lender. Under the
FCRA, companies must conduct free of charge a reasonable investigation of your dispute. The
company that has provided the incorrect information must correct the error and notify all of the
consumer reporting companies to whom it provided the inaccurate information.

Of course, if your information is current and accurate, even if negative, you will not be able to
remove it. Some may claim that they can remove negative information, or even “sweep clean
your entire credit history, but if the information in your report is accurate and current
beware! it’s probably a credit repair scam.
You can learn more about disputing a reporting error on our website, and what to do if you see the
same error in more than one report. You can also submit a complaint to us. We will forward your
complaint to the company and work to get you a response.
We’re here if you have complaints about your consumer reports
We handle consumer reporting complaints about report accuracy and completeness errors, and
other consumer reporting topics, such as, if you are dissatisfied with a company’s investigation of
an earlier
dispute, if you believe your consumer report was used improperly, if you have problems
getting access to your own consumer reports, or if you are dissatisfied with consumer reporting
products and services provided to you, such as credit monitoring and identity protection services
including security freeze, fraud alert and active duty alert requests. We also handle complaints
about
credit repair services. We help consumers connect with financial companies to understand
issues, fix errors, and get direct responses about problems.

AnnualCreditReport.com will route you to any of the three companies you select. Before giving you
a copy of your report, each company will ask you a few detailed questions to authenticate your
identity. These questions are designed to be those only you can answer. They might be questions
such as asking you to verify information about an existing or closed loan. The question could ask
you to identify a street address where you have never lived and you would respond that it was not
an address where you lived. The purpose of these questions is to protect the security of your
information.

Employment screening
Employment screening companies provide verification information such as credit history,
employment, salary, and education and professional license verification to employers and others.
They may also provide residential address history and Social Security Number verification;
criminal arrest and conviction information, as well as fingerprint information from state and
federal criminal record databases; motor vehicle and driver’s record information; drug and
alcohol testing and health screening information; and non-profit and volunteer activity
verification. Many employment screening companies won’t have information on you
unless you authorized an employer or other end-user to obtain a report. If possible,
when you give your authorization, ask for the name(s) of the employment screening company
being used. Contact those reporting companies to fact-check your reports. If the employer is
checking your credit history in separate reports, from one or all three of the nationwide providers
of consumer reports listed above
, request and review those reports too.

Tenant screening
If you are applying as a tenant for a residential property, ask the management company for the
name(s) of consumer reporting company it will be using to screen you. Contact the screener(s) to
fact-check your information and dispute suspected inaccuracies as needed. A tenant screening
report with negative information in it, such as prior housing evictions, could result in a rejected
lease application, or it may get approved but with tough conditions inserted into the lease
agreement such as requiring you to pay twelve months of rent in advance. If a landlord refuses to
rent to you or charges you more because of something in a background check, be sure to know your
rights

Check and bank screening
Banks and credit unions use check and bank screening reports to help decide whether to offer you
a checking account or to cash a check. For example, you may have negative information in your
report if you had a checking account before and you have an unpaid negative balance on that
account, such as from an overdraft that you have not repaid and the account was closed or if you
were suspected of fraud related to the account. If you have been a victim of bank and/or check-
writing fraud, or have had prior difficulties opening or closing a bank account (such as being
denied an account), review your check and bank screening report(s) and dispute them if
inaccurate.
