A credit score is a numerical value which shows your creditworthiness as a single number. The credit score uses information from your credit report and turns it into a number - which is the credit score.
A credit report contains detailed information, including your credit score, personal information, current consumer credit providers, consumer credit enquiries, consumer credit accounts, consumer defaults, consumer serious credit infringements, commercial credit history, public information, personal statements, file access record.
We need these details from you to verify your identity and give you the correct credit report information.
Rest assured we take the security of your private details very seriously and have stringent security policies and technologies. We also store all of our data in Australia for added security.
No, checking your report does not affect your credit score.
Checking your credit report regurarly it is actually a good way to ensure your information is accurate, and may help detect potential identity theft.
Requesting a credit report or check your credit score is considered a "soft enquiry". Soft enquiries do not affect credit scores and are not visible to potential lenders that may access your credit report.
Requesting a loan or a credit card is considered a "hard enquiry". Hard enquiries do affect credit scores. However, if you make multiple hard enquiries because you are shopping around to borrow a large amount of money, for example to buy a property, this will be considered as one hard enquiry, usually if they are made between 14 and 45 days. So, only one enquiry will affect your credit score.
You can get a free copy of your credit report, which should include the credit score, from the main credit reporting agencies: Equifax and Experian for example. You can obtain a free copy every 12 months.
However, it is probably best to check your credit report more often than this.
Your credit score is dynamic, meaning it may change from month to month as your financial circumstances change.
Backy Check teamed up with Experian, one of Australia's official credit reporting bodies and worldwide leader, to provide you with access to your Experian score and credit file information.
