History of an individual's credit financial transactions including a detailed payment analysis. The creditor history is critical for performing a credit analysis to develop a credit rating. A credit history record of prompt and timely payments is important for a strong credit rating. A credit history is kept by major credit rating organizations and is accessible for a fee by commercial organizations as well as by individuals under terms of the Consumer Credit Protection Act.
