Credit reporting bodies collect information from credit providers and public sources, assemble reports on the creditworthiness of individuals and supply reports to credit providers. By getting a report from a credit reporting body you are looking at the same information that your bank or other credit provider is seeing.

Each credit reporting body has a separate set of files so they may vary.

Australian credit reporting bodies

Contact the credit reporting bodies to request a copy of your credit report or to request a correction to something on the credit report.

Some credit reporting bodies may give the opportunity to pay for extra services when you request a copy of your credit report. Remember - you can get a copy of your credit report FREE from each credit reporting body and you don't have to pay.
