No. The credit bureaus are private corporations that exist to collect and sell consumer credit data to lenders, employers, and other institutions. They operate for profit, not as public services.
However, they are heavily regulated by laws such as the FCRA, which gives you the right to:
Access your reports.
Dispute inaccurate, unverifiable, or outdated information.
Demand corrections or deletions when errors are found.
Because they are not government agencies, they don’t always prioritize consumer fairness — which makes advocacy and education critical to keeping your reports accurate.
