Does a credit report show employment history?

Do credit companies call your employer?

In their efforts to get you to pay, debt collectors can contact you at work unless they know or should know your employer doesn’t allow you to accept those types of calls at work. 1 You only have to inform the collector that you can’t receive personal calls at work and they’ll no longer contact you there.

What happens if you lie about your annual income?

Lying about your income on a credit card application and stating a higher income than what you really make might be tempting, but it’s a bad idea. At best, you could have your credit card account closed if the lender finds out. At worst, you could wind up paying big fines or spending time in jail.

Will my bank contact my employer?

Unlike applications for mortgages and car loans, credit card applications don’t ask for documented proof of income or employment. The bank that issued the card won’t call your employer, but if you fall behind on payments on a credit card you’re using, a debt collector has the right to contact your employer.
