Credit bureaus Experion, Equafax, Transunian Get a Experian Credit Report! Because of the crucial role that they play in a loan process that helps consumers achieve their goals and lenders stay profitable, Experian and the other major national credit reporting agencies recognize that they need to collect, assemble and distribute accurate, timely assessments of a consumer's financial reliability. The result of this exacting effort is the credit report, the instrument that makes possible this nation's ready access to credit. Without such a finely tuned national system, consumers would find that their dom to move about would be curtailed because they could only borrow from local lenders. In addition to Experian (formerly TRW), Equifax and TransUnion, the country is served by hundreds of affiliate credit bureaus, which assemble credit information in particular areas and are affiliated with one of the major organizations.
