 TITLE: What to Know About Employment and Your Credit CONTENT: Will Past Employers Appear on My Credit Report?\n-----------------------------------------------\nIt is possible for current and past employers to show up on your credit report if they were listed on a credit application you submitted. Creditors commonly ask for employment information, which then may get passed along to the national credit reporting agencies and added to your credit file.\nThat doesn't mean all your past employers will be listed, though. Lenders aren't required to send employment information to the credit bureaus, so some choose not to. As a result, a credit report won't necessarily provide a complete history of your past jobs.\nIt's also important to note that your past and current employment doesn't impact your credit score in any way—the same goes for your income.\nOther personal information you might find on your credit reports includes your name (including various aliases you've used in the past), Social Security number, date of birth and address.
