  1. Credit Reports Are Different From Credit Scores

Credit scores are calculated using the information on your credit reports, which includes details of your credit accounts, how often you apply for credit, debt collection accounts and some public records, among other

  1. Your Scores Are Based on 5 Core Factors

Those factors are (in order of importance) payment history, credit utilization, average credit age, account mix and inquiries.

  1. You Can Get Your Scores & Reports for Free

You’re legally entitled to a free copy of your annual credit report from each of the three major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. You can get your credit scores for free from various places, including two scores from Credit.com.

  1. Checking Your Own Score Won’t Hurt It

Only hard inquiries (aka when a lender looks at your credit when you apply for a loan or credit card) have a negative impact on your scores, and the effect is small and temporary.image.jpeg

I think the best advantage of such initiatives is that with a low percentage of Americans thriving in credit, it’s time to have a serious conversation. The American struggle is real.
