Credit bureaus, also known as credit reporting agencies, are organizations that collect and maintain consumer credit information to create credit reports, which reflect an individual's credit history and behavior. They provide this information to lenders and other entities to assist in evaluating creditworthiness and making lending decisions. The three major credit bureaus in the U.S. are Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. Their reports can significantly impact an individual's ability to obtain loans, credit cards, and other financial services.
