Your credit score isĀ made up of several factors. Things like the total number of accounts you have, the cumulative length of your credit, any hard inquires, how much you owe overall, and payment history are significant in determining your credit score.

  • Missed payments:Ā This is a big one. Do you pay your bills and other regular payments on time? It is important to establish a steady payment history to lower your potential risk as a borrower.
  • Total accounts: How many lines of credit do you currently have?
  • Length of credit:Ā When did you first start establishing your credit?
  • Inquires: How often do you apply for new credit cards, loans, or participate in department store offers to take out a line of credit with them to receive a discount on your current purchase? If your answer is, ā€œnot often,ā€ then that is a good thing. Every time a hard inquiry is made into your credit, your score takes a hit.
  • Overall balances: Think about how much you currently owe on your credit cards, loans, and other open lines of credit? You want to keep these balances as low as possible, it is better for your credit score.

Also, when you make your payments on time you are establishing that you are a responsible borrower. Lenders particularly look at this aspect of your credit score because it concerns them greatly. If you have a positive history of making your payments on time, lenders will feel more comfortable with crediting you money.
