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.
