 TITLE: Is Employment Listed in Your Credit Report? CONTENT: Your Employment Information Is Updated When You Apply for Credit\n----------------------------------------------------------------\nDon't worry about doing the legwork to ensure your most recent employer is listed on your report. If your new company isn't listed, it won't have an effect on your creditworthiness. The next time you apply for a loan or credit card and provide your job information, the lender will probably send the name of your employer to the credit reporting agency they use to pull your report. If it does, your current employer will automatically update on your report.\nAdditionally, it's not necessary to update the credit reporting agencies when you get a new job. A credit report is not a resume, so it doesn't need to list all the places you've worked.\nWhat you will want to do is make sure the employment information that does appear is accurate. Errors can cause confusion and delay a credit application from being approved. If you spot an unfamiliar company, dispute it with the credit reporting agency that lists it and it will make the appropriate change. END
