Credit Reporting Info Sheet 7 : Who are the credit reporters?

There’s more than one credit reporter - make sure you talk to them all

Information about your credit history and defaults

may be listed with a number of credit reporters.

Companies checking your creditworthiness may use

different credit reporters and so it’s important that if

you’re checking your credit report that you approach

all of them. Your bank might use one credit reporter

while your phone or power company, or a prospective

landlord, might use another.

You might need to contact a credit reporter to ask for

a free copy of your credit report (1), have errors in the

report corrected (2) or to seek a credit freeze if you’re

at risk of identity fraud (3).

Here are the contact details for the three national

credit reporters, though other smaller or specialised

credit reporters may operate too:
