Consumers reporting personal loans
Question: We provided a personal loan to another consumer and want to report their payment history to the credit bureaus.
Answer: The credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, Innovis, TransUnion) require that you must be a legitimate business to report consumer credit. They typically will not allow the reporting of consumer tradelines from another consumer.
Identity Theft Victim
Question: What can we do if we are a victim of identity theft?
Answer: It is recommended that you check your personal credit report on a yearly basis. Carefully review your credit reports for possible fraudulent or suspicious activity and verify the accuracy of your name, social security number, address and employment.
Consumers who have been a victim of identity theft, should place a "fraud
alert" on your credit report by contacting the credit bureaus listed below.
