CreditClarity

A worked example, line by line

This is a constructed sample, not a real person's report. It's built to show the kind of translation Credit Clarity produces: what each line on a CBS report says, and what it means in plain English, with nothing added or implied beyond that.

A credit card with a recorded default

From the CBS Report

Account TypeCredit Card
Account StatusW
Risk GradeHX
Days in Arrears62
Date Opened2019-03
Date Closed2023-11

In Plain English

This was a credit card account, opened in March 2019 and closed in November 2023.

Status W means the lender wrote off the account. It's closed, but the record remains on file; a write-off describes how the lender classified the debt internally, not whether it was repaid.

Risk grade HX reflects a payment history that includes a default. It is a historical grade attached to this specific account, not a live, single overall score.

62 days in arrears means, at the point this was recorded, a payment was overdue by roughly two months.

A personal loan in good standing

From the CBS Report

Account TypePersonal Loan
Account StatusA
Risk GradeAA
Days in Arrears0
Date Opened2022-06
Date ClosedStill open

In Plain English

This is an open personal loan account, opened in June 2022 and still active.

Status A means payments on this account are currently up to date.

Risk grade AA is the highest grade band: it describes an account with no adverse payment history recorded on it, not a prediction about how any future application will be assessed.

Zero days in arrears means no overdue payment was recorded as of this report.

What shows up when someone checks your report

From the CBS Report

Enquiry Count (12mo)4
Most Recent Enquiry2026-02
Enquiry PurposeCredit Card

In Plain English

Four enquiries were recorded on this report in the past twelve months, most recently in February 2026, tied to a credit card application.

An enquiry is a record that a lender accessed your report, usually because you applied for credit. It does not, by itself, say whether that application was approved or declined.

This is what Credit Clarity does with your own report

Every line explained the same way: what it says, and what it means, with nothing added.
