A good credit history is very important to getting approved for your home loan. Here you'll find out how your credit history affects your ability to borrow money and what
you can do to keep good credit throughout your life.
A credit report shows what you owe and how you have paid back what you owed over the years. This information is collected by credit bureaus from public records and from
companies to which you owe money (such as a bank that has issued you a credit card). When you apply, your lender will get a copy of your credit report from one or more of the top three credit bureaus and compare it to your loan
application. If your credit report doesn't match what's on your application, you may be asked to explain why. Before you apply for a home loan, it's helpful to review your credit report to make sure it's correct.
