As a person’s financial profile changes, so does their score. Their credit score can be adversely affected by missing payments, using too much available credit, defaulting on accounts and applying for too much credit within a short time period. WHAT A CREDIT SCORE DOESN’T TELL YOU: PART 1 There are several sections included in an AAOA credit report, each one full of detailed information to help you make an educated decision about your rental applicants:
Personal information
Credit Summary You’ll get a 7-year credit history with: • Name and date of birth. • AKAs and Social Security Number. • Current and past addresses. • Current and past employers.
• Number of hard inquiries, collections, past-due accounts and public records.
