A '''credit report''' contains details of a person's history of paying bills and borrowing money, and other information about them. Credit reports are prepared by '''credit reporting agencies''', also called credit bureaus. The two main ones in Canada are [https://www.consumer.equifax.ca/ Equifax] and [https://www.transunion.ca/ TransUnion]. These agencies collect information from banks and businesses, and from public documents like court and marriage records.
