Lenders do not get reports from the agencies. They request & receive raw datasets, which they consume and process by applying their own criteria & rules to make sense of an individual's credit profile. The mechanism by which the lender requests the data is very likely enabled by an API or some other interface the agency makes available to the lender.0
