Credit reporting is a huge industry, with the three major credit bureaus -- Experian, Equifax and TransUnion -- gathering credit-account information on about 210 million Americans every year and selling more than 1 billion credit reports each year, most of them to lenders eager to assess the creditworthiness of potential and current customers.
