Module Overview

The most important part of building and repairing credit is knowing where you stand credit-wise. To do that, we look at our credit reports from the three main credit-reporting agencies. In this module, we will look at who those three main credit reporting agencies are, how often you are entitled to a free report from each agency, and what to look at in your credit reports. We will also discuss how the credit reports translate into your credit scores.
