Understanding Your Credit
Why This Matters
Lenders use different credit agencies
Different lenders check different agencies — Experian, Equifax, or TransUnion. Your score can vary between them, and what one lender sees might differ from another.
Missed payments may appear differently
A missed payment might show on one credit file but not another. Small discrepancies like this can affect which lenders will approve you.
Small issues can impact approval
Even minor credit issues — an old address, an unknown account, or a forgotten default — can slow down or prevent your mortgage approval.
