Free credit report

If you are applying for financial products such as credit cards and loans, or are worried about your credit history, you may well want to look at your credit report to see where you stand in the eyes of your lenders.

However, you may just want to check that the details kept on your file are correct, or protect yourself from the ever increasing prominence of identity fraud.

There could be errors on your report that will affect your chances of being accepted for credit. If you have made a late payment, been a victim of fraud or if someone has made a clerical error on your file, then you are more likely to be refused credit.

If you do get accepted for credit with these errors on your file, you will likely have to pay higher interest rates because you will be a higher risk in the eyes of your lender.
