What Factors Determine Your Credit Score?
Our credit score is a number that is used to determine the creditworthiness of an individual or company.
They are assigned by credit rating agencies, such as Experian, Equifax and Illion.
The calculations involve many factors and are difficult to understand.
What Is the Difference Between a Good, Fair, and Bad Credit Score?
The difference between a good and bad credit score is obvious.
A good credit score will allow you to get the best rates on loans, hire the right insurance, and be offered credit from the top lenders.
A bad credit score will only lead to rejection of your loan request or refinancing offer.
A fair credit score is somewhere in between those two extremes. It ranks in the middle of all three categories: it’s not as good as a strong one, but it’s not as bad as a weak one either.
Is There Anything Else I Can Do to Raise My Credit Score?
