Your credit report is a record of information reported by lenders and other companies. Start by checking that your name, addresses, accounts, balances, and payment history look familiar.
If something seems inaccurate, keep notes and supporting documents before deciding what to do next. A careful review is often more useful than rushing toward a quick fix.
