What is a Credit Bureau?

Credit bureaus, also called credit reporting agencies are independent organizations that provide creditworthiness score (Credit Score) to lenders (financial institutions, creditors, banks).

TransUnion and Equifax are two of the biggest credit reporting agencies in Canada. Credit card companies often get information from these two when you apply for a credit card.

Financial institutions refer to these agencies to measure your capability of repaying the money you are intending to borrow. These agencies compile your financial information such as:

  • Personal Information
  • Credit Accounts
  • Your Debt Information
  • Credit inquiries
  • Your payment history

Credit Reporting or Credit Bureau Laws in Canada

Credit reporting differs from provinces; this includes practices to protect consumer rights. These laws also cover agencies requesting information that credit bureaus collect.

Credit Report

Request Must Be Valid

Acceptable reasons for requests are credit decision, debt collection, employment or tenancy decision, or insurance underwriting.

Taking an Adverse Action

Decisions that could lead to adverse actions (denying credit application, denying employment, increasing lender charges).

Providing Consumers Copy of Credit Report

Requesting a copy of your credit report should not have a negative impact on your credit score.

Disputes Should Be Investigated

If there is an error, the credit bureau must report this to anyone who received your credit report and fix it.

Positive Credit Information

Credit bureaus are required to maintain a good/positive history on your report for 20 years even if there is a more recent negative history.

Positive Credit Information

How to Acquire Your Credit Report?

It is a good habit to check your credit report once a year. This is to spot or avoid any fraudulent activities or identity theft and make sure that you are not being penalized for debts incurred under your name which you have no idea about.

You may order a copy of your credit report by doing the following:

Through Mail or Fax

  • Fill out the forms from Equifax and TransUnion.
  • Attached a copy of at least 2 of your Identifications.
  • You will receive your credit report by mail.

Through a Phone Call

By calling the below hotline numbers, you can obtain your credit report.

  • You may need to confirm your identity by answering a series of security questions.
  • You will receive your credit report by mail.

I would just like to thank Suma for really making feel comfortable throughout this entire process. Everyone tells you to watch out for gimmicks, quick fixes, and everything else that comes with Debt. Ive had other companies who had made promises and under delivered. However Suma and her team are quick to provide the right answers and guide everyone in a way towards better credit. She has made it seamless with great communication and availability. I have personally referred her to several of my closest friends and i would recommend her to anyone else looking for consolidation.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Debt Consolidation is a negotiated debt settlement offer made between you and your creditors with the help of a Debt Relief Agency in Ontario. Some key benefits of Debt Consolidation are interest-free program, no upfront fee required, combined monthly payment into one affordable amount, no lawsuits, and many more.

Yes, your assets are safe from creditors. A licensed debt relief agency in Ontario will help you come up with an offer to your creditors that will make sure your assets will be out of the paper.

No, in fact, this is one of the great advantages of a Debt Consolidation Program. All wage garnishment will stop from the day you filed the proposal.

The effect on your credit score is not going to be severe. Your credit score will most probably go to R7 Rating and will remain in your credit report for another 3 years after you completed the program. This means that it will not be permanent and you will still be able to rebuild your credit score.

 

This varies depending on the proposal you will be discussing with the help of a certified debt relief agency. It is also worth noting that debt consolidation cannot exceed more than 5 years.

If a debt is shared, you need to file a joint debt consolidation offer to your creditors. However, in most cases, in which the debts are individually incurred will have no impact on your spouse.

After three missed payments, your debt arrangement with creditors will be broken and you will end up getting chased again for the original debt amount plus interest.

A debt consolidation offer can be paid off earlier if you can. In this way, you receive your “Certificate of Completion” sooner and you can immediately start rebuilding your credit score.
