Public Records
A Transunion credit report's public records section includes:

Tax liens
Bankruptcies
Court judgments (including child support judgments)
Any negative activity in this section reflects poorly on your creditworthiness. Even if an item has been paid in full, the presence of even a one-time occurrence indicates a potential future concern for creditors.

Inquiries
A Tranunion credit report's inquiries section includes a listing of all parties who have requested a copy of your credit report. Your rights to privacy are protected by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and therefore only inquiries from those entities with a permissible purpose are granted access to your report.

Inquiries that do not appear on the business version of your credit report are promotional inquiries or account management inquiries. Both promotional and account management inquiries are not counted as official inquiries.

Promotional Inquiries
Vendors query our database based on a set of parameters and receive mailing address information for individuals matching their criteria. These vendors are not viewing your report. They just want to give people who meet their parameters a firm offer of credit or insurance.

Account Management Inquiries
Credit grantors who have permission to review the credit reports of their accountholders may do so on a periodic basis. These are not counted as official inquiries.
