What Effects Your Credit Score (FICO)

Picture

The exact calculation of the FICO score is kept secret as proprietary information, but there are some general guidelines we can apply.
   


Payment History:

Approximately 35% of a credit score may be based upon payment history. A credit score is negatively impacted if bills are paid late or if there is a history of delinquent payments listed on the credit report, including matters of public record such as bankruptcy, collection accounts, etc.Amounts Owed:

Approximately 30% of a credit score may be based upon amounts owed or other outstanding debt. A credit
score can be negatively impacted if the amount owed is close to the credit limit. A low balance on two credit cards may be better than a high balance on one credit card.Length of Credit History:

Approximately 15% of a credit score may be based upon length of credit history. A credit score can be positively impacted the longer that accounts have been open, especially if they are with one financial institution.Taking on More Debt:

Approximately 10% of a credit score may be based upon how much new debt a consumer is incurring. A
credit score may be negatively impacted if someone has recently applied for a number of new credit accounts.
Promotional inquiries usually do not negatively impact a credit score.Types Credit in Use:

Approximately 10% of a credit score may be based upon the types of credit currently in use by a
consumer. A credit score is usually negatively impacted by loans from finance companies.
