Your credit score is a three-digit number that represents your creditworthiness. Understanding the factors that influence your score is crucial for improvement.
Key factors include:
-
Payment History (35%): Paying your bills on time is the most important factor.
-
Amounts Owed (30%): Keeping your credit utilization low (the amount of credit you're using compared to your credit limit).
-
Length of Credit History (15%): A longer credit history generally leads to a higher score.
-
Credit Mix (10%): Having a mix of different types of credit accounts (credit cards, loans, etc.).
-
New Credit (10%): Avoid opening too many new accounts in a short period.
