A credit score is a numerical expression based on a statistical analysis of a person's credit files, to represent the creditworthiness of that person. A credit score is primarily based on credit report information, typically sourced from credit bureaus.

Lenders, such as banks and credit card companies, use credit scores to evaluate the potential risk posed by lending money to consumers and to mitigate losses due to bad debt. Lenders use credit scores to determine who qualifies for a loan, at what interest rate, and what credit limits. The use of credit or identity scoring prior to authorizing access or granting credit is an implementation of a trusted system.

Credit scoring is not limited to banks. Other organizations, such as mobile phone companies, insurance companies, employers, landlords, and government departments employ the same techniques. Credit scoring also has a lot of overlap with data mining, which uses many similar techniques.

What is a good credit score and how to improve it?
Q. Sorry, multiple part question: What is the highest credit score possible and what is the lowest possible? What can you do to improve it? And the myth that using your ATM Debit card as credit can actually improve your credit score, is it true?
Asked by janett - Fri Oct 9 11:26:15 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Using your debit card as credit versus ATM does nothing for you. I don't know the lowest score but 850 is the highest. The average american has a score of 675-700. Anything over 700 and you are in very shape, the top 20%. if you are looking for the free credit score and report usa national site, check out this site Here you can see your 3-in-1 Report from all three credit reporting agencies and your credit score.

What happens to my credit score if I get married?
Q. I'm in my late 20's and my soon to be husband is in his early thirties. I have credit card debt, but I'm working on it. I have a couple bank accounts. I also have a really good credit score. My soon to be husband filed for bankruptcy a couple years ago after he got divorced to avoid paying for bills his wife wasn't paying. He doesn't have a credit card. He does have a bank account. I have no idea what his credit score is. Will my credit score be affected when we get married? Should we share a bank account when we get married? Note: His wife bought things and then didn't pay for the bills for them. They were items she bought and used when they were separated. He didn't see or use them. When she didn't pay for them the creditors came after… [cont.]
