Online Credit Score – Where Do I Find It?
Your Online Credit Score Dictates Your Financial Health, At Least For Lending Institutions.
Your Online Credit Score, commonly referred to as your FICO score is a number between 150 and 930 that is assigned to you based on several factors. It is used to assess the risk lenders would take by offering you credit. It also determines what interest rates to offer you.
The acronym FICO, stands for Fair Isaac Credit Organization and the score itself may be found in your online credit report. Several companies offer a free online credit score report, however, yes, you do get what you pay for in some instances. My free credit report, for example is hardly “free”. Next, whats my credit score?
How is a FICO® creditscore calculated?
The exact algorithms used are kept secret, however, what is known is that these 6 areas are looked at, in no particular order.
- Maintaining credit – Are your payments on time
- Balances – How much do you currently owe?
- credit Experiences – How long have your accounts been active and how well do you maintain them
- Credit Mix – What types of credit do you use?
- Credit Applications – How often and how recently have you applied for credit?
- Utilization of credit – Do you use the maximum amount of your credit?
Why Do An Online Credit Check?
For one thing, by checking your credit rating online you can intercept any derogatory information in your file that may railroad you in the future. This information never increase credit score, just lowers it. By how much you ask?
On a $300,000 home loan, a 100 point difference in your FICO (sometimes mistakenly called a FICA Credit Score), score could translate into $40,000 extra in interest payments over the life of a 30 year mortgage.
