I learned about the importance of credit score


Credit score is?:

  • a statistical method to determine the likelihood of an individual paying back the money he or she has borrowed.

How to build a good credit rating?:

  • The way to have a good credit score depends on many things for example how much money you owe,
  • if you pay your debts on time,
  • or how many times credit have been used,
  • also how many credits do you have.

What is going to happen if i have a bad credit score?:

  • lenders will not shun you unless your credit rating is utterly bad instead they will lend you money at a higher rate than the one paid by someone with a better credit score
  • If you don't have a good credit score some banks will deny your credit application for a loan because they are in risk that you might not pay it back

What is FICO?:

  • A type of credit score that makes up a substantial portion of your credit report that lenders use to asses an applicant's credit risk and whether to extend the loan.
