The Components of Credit Scores BY RICHARD THRIPP APRIL 27, 2016 PRESENTED IN FULFILLMENT OF: TOASTMASTERS ADVANCED COMMUNICATION SERIES TECHNICAL PRESENTATIONS PROJECT 1: THE TECHNICAL BRIEFING

What are Credit Scores?

What are credit scores? Scores based on your credit reports Used when considering you for new credit cards, mortgages, and auto loans A factor in decisions by some employers, landlords, banks, and auto insurance companies

Who maintains credit reports? Three credit bureaus: Equifax Experian TransUnion Reports and FICO scores may differ between bureaus

What is a FICO score? A credit scoring model developed in 1989 by Fair, Isaac, & Co. Calculated from credit report(s) Range: 300–850; 700+ is “good” Typically cannot be obtained for free

Components of Credit Scores

What does this mean? Most important: Payment History and Utilization—65% Don’t miss payments! Rule of thumb: use less than 30% of your available credit lines.

Payment History—35% Includes personal credit cards, mortgages, auto loans, and student loans Excludes all other bills unless delinquent and referred to collections Paying just the minimum payment on a credit card is exactly the same as paying in full for the purposes of this component Being more than 90 days late is very bad

Utilization—30% How much of your credit lines are you using? Lower utilization (below 30%) = better Only relevant to credit cards Usually based on statement balances High impact and can change frequently Looks at total credit usage and individual credit lines, to some extent

Average Age of Accounts—15% Includes your oldest account and the average (mean) age of all your accounts Most relevant to credit cards Older = better Don’t cancel credit cards if no annual fee

Mix of Credit Types—10% Your credit score improves mildly if you have a mix of credit cards, mortgages, auto loans, and student loans You can still have a great score (e.g., high 700s) with credit cards alone

New Credit—10% “Hard” credit inquiries occur when you are applying for credit Creditors might inquire at 1–3 bureau(s) These inquiries mildly hurt your scores for about 6 months and disappear after 2 years Avoid applying for credit cards for 6–12 months before getting/refinancing a mortgage

What’s missing from FICO scores? Job, income, employment history Utility bills and rent payments Assets and credit limits However, credit limits and employment may be on your credit reports (based on your prior self-reports) and often factor into credit issuance decisions

Concluding Thoughts

FICO and “FAKO” scores The FICO “classic” score was described here and is the most widely used score, but there are others such as FICO mortgage and auto scores, which are infrequently used Credit Karma, Credit Sesame, and others usually provide “FAKO” scores which may not match your FICO scores
