What is a Credit Score?

The most widely used credit scores are FICO scores, which were developed by Fair Isaac & Company, Inc. (and they're named after their inventor!). Your FICO score is between 350 (high risk) and 850 (low risk).

Different portions of your credit history are given different weights.

  • 35% Payment History
  • 30% Amounts Owed
  • 15% Lenght of Credit History
  • 10% New Credit
  • 10% Types of Credit Used

Your credit report must contain at least one account which has been open for six months or more, and at least one account that has been updated in the past six months for you to get a credit score. This ensures that there is enough information in your report to generate an accurate score. If you do not meet the minimum criteria for getting a score, you may need to establish a credit history prior to applying for a mortgage.
