Knowledge is your most powerful financial tool. Use these free resources to understand, protect, and build your credit profile.
Your credit report is a detailed record of your borrowing history — every account, payment, and enquiry. It's used by banks, retailers, and landlords to decide whether to extend credit to you.
FoundationIn South Africa, most negative information stays on your report for 2 years. Judgements can remain for up to 5 years. Positive payment history stays indefinitely and works in your favour.
TimelineOnly authorised parties can access your credit report — like lenders you've applied to, employers (with your consent), or landlords. Every access leaves an enquiry record.
PrivacyThe National Credit Act gives you the right to one free credit report per year from each bureau, the right to dispute incorrect information, and the right to know why credit was declined.
Legal RightsYour score is only one number — your full report tells the real story. We read every line so you understand exactly what lenders see when they assess you.
You may dispute: incorrect balances, accounts that don't belong to you, duplicate accounts, identity theft accounts, incorrect payment history, outdated information, and incorrect personal details.
DisputableAccurate negative information generally stays on your profile — legitimately missed payments, real defaults, accounts you actually opened. No company can legally remove accurate information.
Non-Disputable1. Identify incorrect info → 2. Gather evidence (ID, proof of payment, settlement letters) → 3. Submit to the bureau → 4. Bureau investigates → 5. Correction or confirmation within 20 business days.
ProcessBe very cautious of anyone promising to "wipe your credit record" or remove accurate information for a fee. These are illegal practices. Disputes are free and only correct genuine errors.
