Credit Score A credit score measures how likely you are to pay back any new debt. Helps businesses decide how risky you are. You will get better loan terms with better credit. You may be denied or get high interest with lower credit. Employers can check it to see if you’re responsible. Landlords can check it to make rental decisions. Credit cards can be denied or have high interest Can even dictate your cell policy and phone type.

Credit Scores Credit Bureaus track your credit history and calculate your score. There are 3 in the U.S. Transunion, Equifax, Experian We don’t know exactly how they are calculated 3 different credit scores (Usually close together)

Credit Score What we do know about your credit score calculation… Payment History - 35% Amounts Owed - 30% Length of Credit History - 15% New Credit - 10% Every time you apply for more credit your score drops a bit. Types of Credit Used - 10% Mix of credit types is good (credit cards, car loans, mortgage)

https://www.annualcreditreport.com Credit Score You are entitled to 1 free credit report a year from each of the three credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax, and Transunion) It is a good idea to check your credit scores at least once a year to check for inaccuracies.
