Many of us thought that by now the real estate market's favor would have swung from buyers to sellers, but that does not appear to be the case.

There are three major credit reporting agencies that issue credit bureau reports; Experian, TransUnion and Equifax. It is recommended that you obtain reports from all 3 credit report agencies as they most likely contain varying information since creditors subscribe to agencies on a purely voluntary basis. The credit reports provided by each of the different bureaus may present somewhat differently but generally speaking the information will be broken down in much the same way. There are four main parts to the credit report: personal profile, credit history, public records and inquires. Check each section carefully for any errors.
