The three major credit reporting agencies collect and compile information about you and your credit history from public records, your creditors, public record sources such as lawsuits, bankruptcy filings, tax liens and legal judgments as well as from other reliable sources.
These agencies make your credit history available to your current and prospective creditors and employers as allowed by law and then in turn sell that information to creditors who are considering granting you credit.
