I should often check my credit report
Your credit report plays a major role when you apply for a credit card, auto loan, mortgage, employment screening, utilities deposits and insurance. It is to your advantage to know what is on your credit report before applying for credit or a loan. If your credit report would show you to be risky to a prospective lender, it is a good idea to try and clean the information up prior to applying for the loan.
Do credit reporting agencies maintain joint accounts for spouses? No. The credit reporting agencies maintain individual credit files for each U.S. resident. They do not maintain joint files for spouses. Therefore, your credit report is separate and different from that of your spouse.
Also, all three credit bureaus do not have the same information on credit file.
Because lenders send information to some and not others. Credit bureaus receive more than two billion pieces of credit records each month, so it's a given that mistakes are going to happen.
Credit reports are available from three main reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, and these "big three" do not exchange credit records with each other. Therefore each of them may have different credit records, depending on who and what was reported to them. What is on one credit report may differ from another credit report.
