Credit Historty for private lenders do you provide it for them?

[Jodi Rhoades]

Is it customary for private lenders not banks to ask you to provide your own credit history?  I have done several loans with banks and they always just pulled my credit. I am starting to work with a private lender and he has asked me to provide him my credit report.  I thought I would just ask this question just to get feedback before I sent him anything.
