Tip #14 : Don’t Make The Mistake Of Thinking That You Only Have One Credit Report

Most people speak of having a “credit score” when in fact most people have at least three or more scores - and these scores can vary widely.  There are three major credit bureaus in the country that develop credit reports and calculate credit scores.  There are also a number of smaller credit bureau companies.
