A credit score is a three-digit number, typically ranging from 300 to 850, that represents your creditworthiness. Lenders use it to evaluate the risk of lending you money or extending credit. Higher scores indicate better credit health and generally qualify you for lower interest rates.
The five main factors are payment history (35%), amounts owed or credit utilization (30%), length of credit history (15%), credit mix (10%), and new credit inquiries (10%). Paying on time and keeping your utilization below 30% have the biggest positive impact.
Credit scores are generally rated as: 300–579 (Poor), 580–669 (Fair), 670–739 (Good), 740–799 (Very Good), and 800–850 (Exceptional). A score of 670 or above is typically considered good by most lenders.
Credit utilization is the ratio of your current credit card balances to your total credit limits. Experts recommend keeping utilization below 30% to maintain a healthy score. Lower utilization signals to lenders that you are not over-relying on borrowed money.
Missed or late payments are one of the most damaging factors for your credit score. A single missed payment can drop your score significantly, and recent missed payments hurt more than older ones. The impact diminishes over time, and older negative marks have less effect after 2–7 years.
Yes, each hard inquiry from a new credit application can lower your score by a few points temporarily. Multiple applications in a short period signal increased risk to lenders. Rate-shopping for mortgages or auto loans within a 14–45 day window is usually counted as a single inquiry.
Most negative information, such as late payments, collections, and charge-offs, stays on your credit report for up to 7 years. Chapter 7 bankruptcies remain for 10 years. Over time, the impact of negative marks lessens as you build a more positive credit history.
