What is a credit score?

A credit score is a numerical representation of your statistical likelihood to repay credit that is extended to you. Scores can range from 150-950 depending on the type of score.  The credit score comes from a propriety model developed by Fair, Isaac & Company (FICO), and the three credit bureaus. The model takes all the detail account information from your report and processes it with different weights and scoring factors, resulting in the score.

What is calculated into a score?

Details such as on time and late payments, how late the payments are, how many accounts are open, the proportion of balances to credit limits on revolving accounts, whether there are collections, bankruptcies, judgments, liens and how new accounts are.  Your score is a “snapshot” at a specific moment. Your scores can change with new actions and with the passage of time. 

I obtained a copy of my credit report directly from the bureaus and the scores are different than the ones I got when I applied for a mortgage loan.  Why is that?

The scores on the credit report obtained by the bureaus contains consumer credit scores as opposed to mortgage credit scores obtained by your broker. Every industry (auto, mortgage, credit cards) use different score models to calculate scores, so within each industry your scores can vary. 

When do negative items drop off my credit?

Most negative items stay on your credit for 7-10 years before they are purged.
