Your credit report can tell almost everything about it. It has information about where you currently live and other places you have lived in the past, information about how you have paid all of your bills, your criminal background and history, rather you have been sued or not, if you have filed for any bankruptcies, and your previous and/or past employers. It is a true picture of who you really are. Insurance companies, creditors, employers and other businesses purchase this information from a credit reporting agency before they will loan you money, issue a credit card, or offer you employment. Your credit is very important and will effect rather you get a mortgage or not. No one is perfect, and neither is their credit. There are things that you can do to build better credit so that you have more of an opportunity to obtain a mortgage at a lower rate.
