FAQs

A credit report is a document that details your financial history. Lenders and credit providers review it when you apply for loans, credit cards, phone contracts, and other types of credit.

If you’ve ever applied for credit—such as a loan, phone contract, or utility account—you likely have a credit report. Around 14 million Australians have one.

Your credit report includes personal details like your name, date of birth, address, and employment information. It also records your credit history, including applications and any defaults. If you own a business, that information might be included as well.

Your credit report plays a key role when applying for new credit products like loans or credit cards. Lenders will check for any negative marks, which could impact your approval chances since they see these as potential risks.

Negative listings such as defaults, court judgments and credit enquiries generally remain on your credit report for five years, while serious credit infringements can stay for up to seven years. Removing these listings can significantly improve your credit standing.

Paying off your debt will update the listing to “paid,” but the negative listing will still remain on your credit report.

Improving your credit report can increase your chances of being approved for loans or mortgages. By removing negative listings, you can present a cleaner credit profile to potential lenders, improving your overall creditworthiness.
