Remember: Actual card and loan conditions depend on the financial institution's approved terms and contract.
A report contains more than a score
It can show lending, card, and inquiry information.
Checking your own report is not treated like a new-loan inquiry
JCIC says self-inquiries do not enter the scoring model.
Review for errors or unfamiliar accounts
Contact JCIC and the relevant institution if something looks wrong.
Review before borrowing
Knowing your record can improve preparation.
