# Lesson 1: Calculating a credit score - Credit scores vary from a scoring model to another, but in general, the FICO scoring system is the standard in the U.S., Canada, and other global areas. It is important that you’ll understand how the score is calculated, so you will be able to position yourself in the best possible way.
# Lesson 2: Credit Bureaus – three bureau credit report - A credit bureau is a collection agency that gathers account information from various creditors and provides that information to a consumer reporting agency (called a credit reference agency in the United Kingdom, a credit reporting body in Australia, a credit information company (CIC) in India). Most U.S. consumer credit information is collected and kept by the four national traditional consumer reporting agencies: Experian, Equifax, TransUnion, and Innovis.
# Lesson 3: Credit freeze – Credit Lock - also known as a credit report freeze, a credit lock down, or a security freeze, allows an individual to control how a U.S. consumer reporting agency (credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, TransUnion, Innovis) is able to sell his or her data. The credit freeze locks the data at the consumer reporting agency until an individual gives permission for the release of the data.
# Lesson 4: Acquiring and understanding credit reports and credit scores - Consumers can typically check their credit history by requesting credit reports from credit agencies and demanding correction of information if necessary.
In the US, the Fair Credit Reporting Act governs businesses that compile credit reports. These businesses range from the big three credit reporting agencies, Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion, to specialty credit reporting agencies that cater to specific clients including payday lenders, utility companies, casinos, landlords, medical service providers, and employers. The consumer credit reporting agencies it governs provide a free copy of the credit reports for any consumer who requests it, once per year.
