NCC




Almost everyone has heard the term NCC before but few people know what it really is.

The National Credit Center, better known as NCC, is a non-profit organization that collects and maintains credit information on behalf of its members. These members are typically lenders, such as banks and credit unions.

NCC's mission is to provide its members with accurate and up-to-date credit information so that they can make informed lending decisions.


NCC does this by collecting data from a variety of sources, including credit bureaus, public records, and lenders. This data is then used to create credit reports, which include information such as a consumer's credit history, current debts, and payment history.

Lenders use credit reports to assess a consumer's creditworthiness and determine whether or not to approve a loan. They also use credit reports to set interest rates and loan terms.

Consumers are entitled to one free credit report from each of the three major credit bureaus every year. They can also purchase additional credit reports from NCC or other credit reporting agencies.

It is important for consumers to review their credit reports regularly, as they may contain errors. If a consumer finds an error on their credit report, they should contact the credit bureau that issued the report.

NCC is an important part of the credit reporting system. It helps lenders make informed lending decisions and provides consumers with access to their credit information.
