The Debt Report in My Credit Reference.

I know there is such things out there as credit reference agencies but had no real idea of what they do and how they do it.  All I knew for sure was that do to my apparent inability to do debt management on my own,  they were all saying bad things about me.   When I started to work to get my credit back one of the first things I did was to look at my credit reference.  They had a lot of information on that I did not even remember doing.  They knew every place that I had applied for credit and what the results of that application had been.
