Record of your credit accounts and how well you ve performed in repaying those accounts Derived from data in your credit history maintained by authorized credit reporting agencies Provides a measure of your willingness to pay a loan or other financial obligation Comparable to your credit transcript
7 True or False? You have only one credit score at any point in time. FALSE
8 There is no single score... Credit bureau scores are not the only scores used Fair Isaac & Co. is not the only company providing scores Your score may be different at each credit bureau Your score changes over time
9 FICO Credit Scores Calculated using Fair Isaac & Co. methodology FICO scoring method is a black box FICO scores range from 300 to 850 You want the highest FICO score possible

14 True or False? Education loan debt does not necessarily result in a low credit score. TRUE Education loans are installment debt and they typically are viewed more favorably than revolving debt in credit scoring How well you have managed credit in the past is more important than your amount of debt
15 These Factors DO Count! High revolving account balances WILL impact score even if no history of late payments Paid collection accounts DO impact score until removed from report Use of credit counseling services, if reported by creditor, MAY lower score Inquiries for more credit MAY lower score
16 QUESTION Which of the following is the MOST important factor in determining your credit score? A. Available credit B. Payment history C. Total debt D. No one factor is always the most important; it s the mix of all information that counts E. None of the above

20 Scoring Myths (#1) MYTH Your score determines if you ll get approved for credit REALITY Your score is just one of the factors used in credit decisions
21 Scoring Myths (#2) MYTH A low (poor) score will haunt you forever REALITY Wrong--Your score is a snapshot of your credit in time and it changes as new information is added
22 Other Common Misconceptions Balance transfers don t hurt score Credit history contains only current account status Delinquent accounts now made current have no negative impact on score Bankruptcy clears both debt and credit record Divorce decrees regarding joint accounts must be honored by creditors Student loans not in repayment are not counted as debt

26 How do people score? Based on general population s FICO scores: 13% 11% 11% 16% 29% Below %
27 QUESTION What is the MOST common reason why a credit score is not higher? A. Bankruptcy B. Collection account(s) C. Amount owed on accounts too high D. Too many accounts with balances E. Serious delinquency
28 Top 5 Reasons That Lower Credit Scores 1. Serious delinquency 2. Serious delinquency, AND public record or collection filed 3. Derogatory public record or collection filed 4. Time since delinquency is too recent or unknown 5. Level of delinquency on accounts

31 Credit Scoring Can Help You Credit decisions can be made faster Credit decisions are fairer, more objective Past credit problems may count for less, unlike knock-out credit rules More credit is available Cost of credit should be lower overall
32 QUESTION Which of the following is NOT generally a method for improving your credit score over time? A. Paying your bills on time B. Minimizing what you owe on revolving accounts C. Opening new accounts only when needed D. Obtaining both installment and revolving accounts E. Using caution when considering balance transfers
