Secure your identity: Get hold of the credit report

By: Jason Uvios

To prove your identity you have the passport, the citizen's certificate and the officially granted identity card. Now how does the credit report become important for your identity?

You better plunge into the contents of a credit report. Things will easily become clear to you where the credit of the credit report lies. The initial information relates to your basic identity. That obviously states you name, age, address and social security number. In addition sometimes the employer's detail is required. What more do you think an identity card has?

But credit report indeed has something more in it thus, concerned with not just your identity but with the security of your identity.

Credit report accessibility made definite

The access of the credit report is not made for all. What does this actually mean? In definite terms every consumer can access his/her personal credit report. But you and I cannot access anyone's credit report at our own discretion. Either you will have to be in a credit deal with the person or the organizational body or there is a process to get hold of permission to access someone else's credit report.

Without any sort of business deal, your credit report can be never observed by another person. One thing can happen that the business relation is not direct. There's nothing to scratch your head and think what indirect ways are there to set a deal. Very simple, if you are the employer you can take a written permission of the concerned employee to check his/her credit report. Similarly this can happen between the landlord and the tenant. Here you cannot call it a direct credit deal but there is a transaction of money and the landlord might want to know about your financial condition. This is nothing but a sort of security that you can pay rents timely.

Protection and penalty for violating rules

Credit report is prepared as per the guidelines of the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act). It has been strictly mentioned that without the written consent of the actual holder of the credit report you cannot access it whenever you wish. Now if any such instance takes place, then and then legal action can be taken against the person or the organization. Other norms of the FCRA are equally important such as who can access the credit report, exactly when a credit report can be issued and so on. Any type of misconduct can become an issue of heavy penalization. Now do you realize what the importance of the credit report is? It is not just identity but security for your identity.
