FICO scores, the credit scores lenders use to evaluate a loan application contain a complex set of algorithms to arrive at their mythical number. Anything above 740 can be considered excellent credit while scores below 620 can be low enough to deny someone a mortgage. What is the best way to keep credit scores high?

FICO scores use five main ingredients when composing a score, with different weight being placed upon the different categories. Those categories are:

� Payment History

� Available Credit

� Length of Credit

� New Credit/Inquiries

� Types of Credit

While no one but the folks at FICO know exactly how these five categories interact with each other to produce a score, we do know that Payment History and Available Credit amount to nearly two-thirds, 65 percent to be exact, of the calculation of a score.

Payment history is reviewed to make sure that you don’t have any late payments that are more than 30 days past the due date. If you do, and they’re recent ones, then your score will drop. If you keep your payment history on time and pay when bills are due, then the number one category will be a major factor in your final score.

The second category, available credit, is based upon a percentage of credit available to you compared to current loan balances. For example, if you have a credit card with a $10,000 credit limit and you have a $3,000 balance, you will be rewarded in your credit score. The algorithms seem to indicate that keeping an approximate balance of one-third of your available credit at all times boosts your score. However, if you approach, or worse go above, your credit limit, your scores will fall.

By concentrating on your payment history and available credit, you will have the most impact on your total score overall and you’ll find that the remaining three variables will simply fall into place. Pay on time and keep your balances at the correct level is your best bet.

  67. e suis blazée car nous avons pas de grands moyens et mon mari m’a vu tellement heureuse de voir le sac qui me fait rêver depuis 3 ans à un prix “plus abordable” qu’il me l’a acheté pour noël. Mais là j’ai plus envie de pleurer qu’autre chose. J’attends la livraison (si la douane ne le détruit pas car à prioris c’est de la contrefaçon) et je vais voir avec ma banque si on peut faire une opposition ou quelque chose
