Information on Credit Scoring

A credit score is a snap shot of your credit risk (ie how likely you are to repay a debt and repay it on time) at a specific point in time. The higher your score, the lower the risk. Your credit score is calculated using a mathematical formula that evaluates information on your credit report and compares it with the information patterns of millions of other credit reports, the score is then used to determine your future credit risk.

The 5 main factors to determine your score are :-

1. Payment History
2. Amount Owed
3. Length of Credit History
4. New Credit
5. Types of Credit in use

Your credit file is continually updated with new information from your creditors. Generally, people with high scores pay bills on time, keep low balances on credit cards and only take new credit when it is needed. Speak your adviser for further information on credit scoring.
