Your credit report contains several pieces of crucial information, such as your credit history, the different types of credit you have previously used, and for how long, any outstanding debts you may have, and how frequently you made payments on the agreed-upon due dates every month. The data within your credit report is used by various lenders and creditors to determine your financial responsibility, and whether or not you are a risk in terms of extending credit. Credit reports contain data from four main categories of personal and financial information. Personally Identifiable Information (PII): Refers to personal information that can be used to identify you, such as your full name, current and previous address, date of birth, and social security number. Credit Accounts: Each credit account you have opened with various creditors and lenders. Credit Inquiries: Inquiries are a record of who has accessed you credit report and on what date. Hard inquiries are made each time you apply for a new line of credit, while soft inquiries are made each time you view your credit report. Public Record and Collections: Refers to personal information such as bankruptcies, debt collections, and any pending legal issues. However, credit scores are not shown on your credit report because they represent a different insight into your credit. Credit reports indicate your credit activity, while credit scores reflect a calculation of your credit activity. WHAT IS CONSIDERED A GOOD CREDIT SCORE? Credit scores are used by financial companies to help them determine if a consumer has any potential risk in extending them credit. Most often, credit scores are used by financial institutions, credit card companies, and car dealerships to determine whether or not they should provide you with credit, and what the terms, interest rate, and down payment of the credit will be. Credit score calculations are placed into five categories between the ranges of 300-850: * Poor: 579 or below * Fair: 580-669 * Good: 670-739 * Very Good: 740-799 * Excellent: 800 or above Generally, credit scores above 670 are considered good, and a credit score above 800 is considered to be an excellent credit score. Most consumers fall somewhere between 600 to 750. As mentioned, the benefit of having higher credit scores represent more financial responsibility, thus providing creditors and lenders with more confidence that you will be able to repay any future debts as agreed upon. Get a credit report today and see where your credit score stands. HOW DO I GET ALL THREE CREDIT REPORTS AND SCORES? To find out precisely what is in your credit report, sign up with SmartCredit® to easily receive and manage your 3-Bureau Report & Scores. DO ALL THREE CREDIT REPORTS HAVE THE SAME INFORMATION? The credit reporting agencies are responsible for maintaining your credit report and providing the data to various creditors and lenders who request it. There are three major credit reporting agencies. * Equifax * TransUnion * Experian However, information that is provided to each of the three credit bureaus may be different due to the individual creditors furnishing your data. For example, one credit bureau may have more or fewer inquiries than the other two, which could potentially produce different looking credit reports. Because of this, it's recommended that you request your credit report with each of the three major bureaus so that you have a comprehensive look into your financial standing, and quickly identify any difference that could potentially be affecting it. Monitoring your credit is tough to do on your own. Your SmartCredit® membership provides you with the absolute best platform for your money, credit, and identity all in one.

To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more. This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs. Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments. If you wish to contact the website’s owner please use the website's form Screen-reader and keyboard navigation Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers can read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements: 1. Screen-reader optimization: we run a process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images. It provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts embedded within the image using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website. These adjustments are compatible with popular screen readers such as JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack. 2. Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key. Additionally, keyboard users will find content-skip menus available at any time by clicking Alt+2, or as the first element of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, not allowing the focus to drift outside. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

Font adjustments – users can increase and decrease its size, change its family (type), adjust the spacing, alignment, line height, and more. 2. Color adjustments – users can select various color contrast profiles such as light, dark, inverted, and monochrome. Additionally, users can swap color schemes of titles, texts, and backgrounds with over seven different coloring options. 3. Animations – epileptic users can stop all running animations with the click of a button. Animations controlled by the interface include videos, GIFs, and CSS flashing transitions. 4. Content highlighting – users can choose to emphasize essential elements such as links and titles. They can also choose to highlight focused or hovered elements only. 5. Audio muting – users with hearing devices may experience headaches or other issues due to automatic audio playing. This option lets users mute the entire website instantly. 6. Cognitive disorders – we utilize a search engine linked to Wikipedia and Wiktionary, allowing people with cognitive disorders to decipher meanings of phrases, initials, slang, and others. 7. Additional functions – we allow users to change cursor color and size, use a printing mode, enable a virtual keyboard, and many other functions. Assistive technology and browser compatibility We aim to support as many browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share, including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS, and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and MAC users. Notes, comments, and feedback Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating, improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility following technological advancements.
