Assignment: Your Credit Report
Good personal credit standing is integral to financial success. As an individual, you are judged by your personal credit. Your credit rating is not only used to determine your ability to borrow on a mortgage, car, or credit card, but it is also used to judge whether you can rent an apartment, obtain insurance, or even get a job. As a college student, your success is determined by your grade point average (GPA). Once you are a working professional, it is your credit score that measures your financial success in life. This assignment will help you understand your own credit as well as factors that determine your current credit.
How To Obtain a Credit Report:
- Annual Credit Report Web site (https://www.annualcreditreport.com/cra/index.jsp). You will have to select your state from the drop down box and fill out the order form to receive your free credit report. The Annual Credit Report Web site is accessible only through Internet Service Providers (ISPs) located within the United States.
- If you do not yet have an established credit rating in the US, a sample report may be obtained by doing an Internet search on "sample credit report." One site that displays a sample is https://www.thelpa.com/lpa/sample_tu_credit_report.html.
