Any reason to or not to update Employer on CR?

My CR shows my employer from like 6 years ago and I've had many jobs in between. Is there any particular reason, I should or should not update this information to my current employer?

IMO don't see a need to do anything. I don't think your creditors pay much attention to that. Any creditors that you didn't pay might appreciate a update!

My CR's show jobs I had over 10 years ago. It really depends on what CRA's were used when you applied for credit, but that still doesn't mean the most current information is going to be updated. I would say that you shouldn't worry as to whether or not the correct current employer is listed.

I would assume that anyone who pulls your CR would be able to see your employer info ~ this includes both creditors and CAs.
