A credit report is a detailed record of your borrowing and repayment history. It includes information such as your personal details, credit accounts (like loans, credit cards), payment history, outstanding debts, and public records like bankruptcies. Lenders use credit reports to assess your creditworthiness and decide whether to approve your credit application.

Key components of a credit report:

- Personal Information: Name, address, Social Security number.

- Credit Accounts: Types, opening dates, credit limits, balances.

- Payment History: Timeliness of payments.

- Public Records: Bankruptcies, foreclosures.

- Inquiries: When lenders or others have checked your credit.

To maintain a good credit report:

- Pay bills on time.

- Keep credit utilization low.

- Avoid excessive credit inquiries.

- Regularly review your report for errors and dispute inaccuracies.
