Who this may help
Contact the credit bureau directly to request access to your personal data. IMY says access is generally free, unless a request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
What to do
- If you see an unfamiliar credit check, ask who requested it and why. A credit report requires a legitimate need.
- Compare the bureau’s reply with the notice about the check. If a record is wrong, contact the bureau and the company that requested it.
Important limits
This is about credit-report records, not a general extract from Swedish public registers. Different bureaus may hold different data.
