Your credit history is an important part of your future – it can open doors for you or keep them locked. Decisions including approvals for loans and mortgage or rental applications may be affected by your credit history.
  • Make payments on time and always pay at least the minimum amount required
  • Notify creditors as soon as you move to ensure bills will arrive at your new location on time
  • Notify creditors right away if you experience problems making a payment
  • Review the accuracy of your credit report by checking with one of the two largest credit reporting agencies – Equifax or TransUnion

To receive a copy of your personal credit report,
please send a written request to one of the following credit reporting agencies:

Please also include photocopies of two forms of identification (both sides) from the following list:
  • Driver's Licence
  • Passport
  • Certificate of Indian Status
  • Age of Majority/Provincial ID
  • Citizenship Card
  • Department of National Defense Card

  • Social Insurance Number (optional)
  • Credit Card (primary account holder)

Or, you can include one or more of the above along with one of the following:
  • Credit Card (secondary account holder)
  • Birth Certificate
  • Legion Card
  • Hunting/Fishing Licence
  • T4 Slip
  • Student Card (only with photo, signature and currently enrolled)
  • Employee ID/Union Card (only with photo, signature and current employer)

If more than one member of your household is requesting their credit report, each separate request must contain all of the above information.

Here are some ways to maintain control of your finances:

  • Always pay bills on time and make at least the minimum payment.
  • Set aside a portion of your available credit for emergencies like car repairs or unplanned medical costs.
  • Make note of your spending habits to identify patterns and then create a budget, making adjustments when necessary and tightening your expenditures wherever possible.
  • Drastically reduce your card usage. Leave your card at home or put it in a different place in your wallet as a reminder not to use it.
  • Revise your current budget and make credit payments a higher priority. Cut down on other expenses. Make at least the minimum payment each month and set up a firm timetable to pay off your debt.
  • Contact your creditors. They'll want to work with you and together you should be able to figure out a realistic payment schedule.
