If your credit score falls into the poor/fair credit rating of below 670, the good news is that you can change that! Just like training for a marathon does not happen overnight, improving your credit score is going to take some time. Your credit score
is a number that indicates the level of risk of default you represent to a creditor at a given moment in time.
What is my Credit Score? | How To Increase It?
There are several scoring models; however, most are based on the FICO® Score, a credit score created by the Fair Isaac Corporation, which is used in most lending decisions. It ranges from a low score of 300, which represents an extremely high risk,
to 850, representing an extremely low risk. By evaluating credit scores and credit reports, lenders can make an informed decision about a borrower's creditworthiness and how much credit they can obtain. This Save and Succeed Credit Score video covers what each of these is comprised of.
