Interpreting your Credit scoreWhen a lender receives your Fair, Isaac Credit bureau risk score, up to four "score reason codes" are also delivered. These explain the top reasons why your score was not higher. If the lender rejects your request for credit, and your FICO score was part of the reason, these score reasons can help the lender tell you why your score wasn't higher. These score reasons are more useful than the score itself in helping you determine whether your Credit Report might contain errors, and how you might improve your score over time. However, if you already have a high score (for example, in the mid-700s or higher) some of the reasons may not be very helpful, as they may be marginal factors related to the last three categories described previously (length of credit history, new credit and types of credit in use). Common score reasons: Here are the top 10 most frequently given score reasons. Note that the specific wording given by your lender may be different from this. Serious delinquency. Serious delinquency, and public record or collection filed. Derogatory public record or collection filed. Time since delinquency is too recent or unknown. Number of accounts with delinquency. Proportion of balances to credit limits on revolving accounts is too high. |
