A credit score is a measure of how financially stable an individual is. It is based on numerous factors including employement history, income, real estate ownership, outstanding debt, debt payment history, etc. In essance, it is a measure used by lenders to determine the likehood that a loan will be repaid in a timely and orderly fashion.

Why should it be good? Basicall, the lower the credit score is, the less the lenders will believe that the loan will be paid off. As a result, they will charge higher interest and/or offer smaller loans to compensate for their increased risk.

There are 3 credit score companies that keep track of your score. Credit scores are the scores that creditors look at to determine:
1 How much interest rate they should charge you.
2. How much money they should lend.

You should try to keep two of the threes scores above 720. This will allow you to:
1. Pay less interest than the rest at least a quarter point which in turn keep more money to yourself.
2. Don't have to put money down for some properties. More money to invest or spend.

Credit scores are created by three huge credit monitoring companies. They track activity by SSN and give points based on the types of activities. If you have a judgenemt, money owed and awarded by a court, then it subtracts. If you have a paid in full loan, it adds. Things like regular payments add, home loan foreclosures subtract.
Hope this helps

They very best source to find this out is to go to the site of the folks who developed the FICO Score. See the link below.

Generally, it is a quick and dirty method that creditors use to evaluate your credit worthiness. By using a formula, and examing credit history, late payments, debt/credit rations, etc....a number is calculated that is given to the creditor.

The sad part is many times they only look at this score, and NEVER at other factors, such as disputed negative reports, recent financial problems, or current finances.

If you want a motgage loan to buy a house lenders look at your credit score to see if you are loan-worthy. If you are not buying a house or taking out a loan over $100,000 you don't need to worry about it.
There are dozens of things that go into the credit score.

A credit score merely shows in one simple output how risky it is to lend you money based on a 7-year track record. The higher the number the less risky you are and the more likely you will repay the loan in full with interest.

A higher number entitles you to lower interest rates, better terms and more credit.

your credit score is a reflection of how much credit you have available, how much of it you use, and how good you are at paying your bills on time.

they basically take those three factors, use some kind of math to combine their weights, and poof you get a credit score.

thats really it as simple as it gets

credit score is what finance companies and banks look at when you go to buy a car,house,or other item that might need to be financed.If your score is bad,they will not attempt to finance you.You will be going to one of those "we finance"car lots and paying alot more money for your car.You will also not be able yto buy a house or other items with bad scores.
