We report once a month to the three major credit bureaus. This report includes information on your Credit Builder Account, and, if applicable, your Self Visa® Credit Card. For example: If you open a Credit Builder Account in mid-January, we report your account-opening to the credit bureaus the first week of February.
What gets reported to credit bureaus?
Your credit report is primarily a record of your payment history on your various credit accounts. These accounts include credit cards, car loans, mortgages, student loans and similar debts. Credit reports also include reports on things like bankruptcies and tax liens, and can even include rent or bill payments.
Do you have to contact all 3 credit bureaus?
Keep in mind that each credit reporting agency may have slightly different information on file, so you will want to request and review all three credit reports carefully for any signs of identity theft.
Do credit bureaus report to each other?
The three national credit reporting agencies don’t share information with each other and not all lenders or creditors report to each. As such, your credit reports from TransUnion, Equifax and Experian can contain different information about you. Learn more about how to dispute an error on your credit reports.
