Credit scoring models compute your score primarily from information contained in your credit report. The models might also take information from credit applications into consideration, including your occupation, length of employment, and whether you own a home.
According to Fair Isaac and Company, your payment history accounts for approximately 35 percent of your credit score. Your payment history reflects the various accounts that you have, including credit cards, mortgage loans, and retail accounts. Collections, foreclosures, lawsuits, and other collection items also fall into this factor.
The amount of money that you owe approximately accounts for 30 percent of your credit score. The manner in which a credit score reflects this amount, however, is complicated. As Fair Isaac explains, “Part of the science of scoring is determining how much is too much for a given credit profile.“ The credit score takes into account your last reported balance, whether or not you pay the balance off in full. The score pays particular attention to the amount you owe in revolving credit” such as credit cards. For example, if you have several credit cards with a small balance that you pay off regularly, then this reflects better on your score than if you had the same number of credit cards with no balance, because the latter shows a greater likelihood of “maxing out“those cards. In the same vein, if you have too many credit cards it will reflect poorly on your credit report.
Ten percent of your score falls under a category that Fair Isaac categorizes as “new credit.“ This category reflects factors such as the number of new credit accounts on your credit report. The more new accounts you have open, the more poorly this reflects on your score. In addition, the number credit checks that are run on you in the past year can actually reduce your score. This assumption is that, if you are searching for more credit, then you are at a greater credit risk.
Fifteen percent of your credit score measures the length of your credit history under Fair Isaac’s system. Finally, approximately 10 percent of your credit score evaluates the type of credit you have and whether it is a “healthy mix.“
These factors are just a few among many, and your credit score is determined by a complex formula that takes into account over 100 different factors.
While different lenders may evaluate scores differently, generally, a score above 680 is considered to be prime. Individuals with scores between 680-575 are likely to receive subprime loans, and individuals with scores below 540 will generally be denied credit altogether. If the individual is listed as having filed for bankruptcy, it results in a 160-220 point deduction on their credit score. A bankruptcy will remain on a credit score for 7-10 years. If a delinquent account is added to the individual’s credit file, 70-120 points are subtracted.
No, as long as the item is current or paid at the time of removal or the collection is older than three years. This holds true except in very rare circumstances.
