More Information about your CREDIT SCORE Credit Scores are the three digit numbers that lenders use to decide whether to lend you money and at what interest rate. Historically, the credit score is a number between 300 and 900. The rational is that the higher the score the less risk there is to the lender that you will not repay the loan. Fair, Isaac and Company, the credit scoring standard, provides credit bureaus (Trans Union, Equifax and Experian) with a credit score formula. The bureaus use the formula to generate numbers, which are known as FICO scores. A credit score or FICO score gives you a look at how your credit rating compares to that of average U.S. consumer. A credit score is derived from information in your credit report and can range from 330 to 830, with a higher score indicating lower credit risk. Using the latest data on U.S. consumer spending habits, your credit rating will help you learn the factors that drive your score up or down so you can improve your overall credit rating.
