Who Started the Credit Score?

Fair Isaac and Company is a California based company founded in 1956 by Bill Fair and Earl Isaac.They started the field of credit scoring for financial institutions. They have grown to cover decision Your Name:

systems analysts and consulting. All credit agencies and most lenders figure your credit score usingsoftware from Fair Isaac and Company. The end result is a Fico Score also known as a BeaconScore. Email Address:

What is a Fico or Beacon Score? Phone Number:

The credit score represents the risk a lender may have in extending you credit. There are severalparameters in your credit score, including length of credit history, number of open accounts, loans,mortgages, public records and others, and they are formulated to make up a score between about Best time to contact you?300 and 950. Usually a lending institution will use your credit score with other factors whendetermining your risk factor.

What is Prime, Alternative A, Subprime and Hard Money (3ilted Loans)

If your score is 680 or above, you are considered to be Prime and can get the lowest interest rate.This means that you should not have a problem getting the best interest rate on a loan. Another p

Proud Member of the National Associationmajor factor could be debt to income, which means the amount of debt you have in comparison to

of Credit Services Organizationsthe amount of income you make. Oo you have the income to pay back the loan?

If your score is 620-679, you are considered Alt A. This will give you an interest rate a little higherthan Prime.

If your score is 500-619, you are considered Subprime. This will give you an even higher interest 1 leniher 0/rate.

DA L L A S R E G IO N A L C H A M B E R '

If your score is 500 or below, you will probably get a Hard Money or jilted Loan. You may still beable to get a loan, but you will have to pay fees and a much higher interest rate. THIS IS NO PLACETO BE. A low score can keep you from getting insurance or even a job.

(This information is based on mortgage information in March 200B.) Affiliate Partner

I NFOARMQOR.How Much Does a Low Fico or Beacon Score Cost You?

lOI:NTITY VROTL'C'TIOib LXVLRTS

Credit Cards

If you fall in the Subprime or j i l ted category, getting a good rate on a credit card is out of thequestion. If you do get a credit card, you may be hit with high interest rates, upfront set-up fees,reoccurring monthly fees and cash deposits.

Auto Loans

Your payments on an automobile will go through the roof with bad credit. Here are examples.

$20,000 auto loan over 5 years

Category Interest Rate Payment Total Cost After 5 Years

Prime 7o/o $405 $24,300

Subprime 14o/o $477 $28,620

Hardy Money (jilted) 21o/o $557 $33,420

Home Loans

$100,000 mortgage over 30 years

Category Interest Rate Pay m e nt Total Cost After 30 Years

Prime 6 Spo/o $632 $228,625

Alternative A 7 Spo/o $699 $251,715

Subprime 100/o $877 $315,925

Hard Money (jilted) 140/o $1,184 $426,553

Having a low score can cost you thousands of dollars.

How Do They Calculate a Credit Score?

Different credit bureaus calculate your Fico or Beacon Score slightly different. Each credit bureaumakes the score their own and gives it a different name.

Equifax calls the score a Beacon Score, Experian calls it a Fair Isaac Score and Transunion calls it anEmpirica Score. Every time something changes on your bureau, your score will change. A lot ofinformation is used to calculate your score; however, there is no formula that has ever been givento the public. Lenders will look at your score along with your income and the kind of loan you areapplying for to determine interest rates.

What Factors Affect Your Credit Score?

1. Payment History: is 35'/o of your score. (Payment history is determined by if you pay youraccounts on time.) Payment history includes any loan that you have had to make monthly paymentson. For example, auto loans, mortgages, credit cards, department stores and finance companies.

Late Payments: If you are late on an account it can eventually turn into a collection account orpublic record. These may include bankruptcies, lawsuits, liens, collections, wage attachments andjudgments. These are very serious accounts and hurt your score dramatically.

• Security: how delinquent is the payment? Have you been 30, 60, 90 or 120 days late? Is itstill outstanding? Paying on time will raise your Beacon or Fico Score greatly.

• Recent history- How long ago where you delinquent? Are you still delinquent? Current late

payments can hurt your score by 100 points.• Prevalence- How many obligations do you have? What percentages of your accounts are late

now?

2. How Much You Owe is 300/o of your score: Does your income allow you to make your

payments and pay your home bills on time and still have money to spend on every day activities?

What type of account is it? Different kinds of credit accounts are figured differently. Credit cards aredifferent than home loans in factoring your score or determining if you apply for a loan.

It is important to look at how much you owe total. A lot of accounts with small balances may hurtyou because you could run up those balances at anytime. If you have not used a card in many

years, it is good to close it. Paying off your credit cards every month is good. Try to keep theamount of credit cards you keep down to a minimum. Three or four open credit cards are a goodamount to have.

If you have high balances on your credit cards and are close to your limit, it is affecting your score,even if you have made your payments on time. Lenders do not want to see high balances because itshows that you may not have the money to pay anymore than the minimum payment.

3. Amount of Time Credit Has Been in Use is 150/o of your score: The longer you have had

credit, the better the score as long as the credit you have has been in good standings. This meansthat older people that have always had good credit will probably have higher scores than someonewho is younger with good credit, but young people can still have a good credit score.

It is important to look at how long have you had an account and how long has been in the creditreport. The average age of your accounts are taken into considerations when calculating your score.You must also use the accounts that you have. If it has been many years since you have used an

account, it may not hold much of a score. Using the accounts you have will help your score.

4. Inquiries are 100/0 of your score: It is easier to obtain credit these days via mail, internet andmany other ways. Every time you give someone permission to run your credit and you get aninquiry, and it can lower your credit score. Mortgage and auto loans are treated differently forexample auto loans made within 14 days are counted as one.

There are no good inquiries. Every time you fil l out a credit application, you get one or moreinquiries. Too many inquiries look bad. Even though there are no good inquiries, there are neutralones that don't hurt your score.

Pre-approval inquiries are when a potential lender has looked at your credit to determine whether

they want to offer you a loan. These are not factored in to your score, but once you fill out anapplication with the lender, it will show up to be a bad inquiry that does hurt your score.

Periodic Review inquiries are when lenders periodically review your credit to see if there are anymajor changes. If they see a major change in your score they may close your account. These arealso not supposed to be factored into your credit score.

Inquiries can show a lender how often you are trying to open up new accounts and how recent thoseattempts were.

Primary consideration is given to the following:

• Number of inquiries in last six months• Number of trade lines opened in the last year• Number of months since most recent inquiry

How inquiries are computed is somewhat complex and they should be avoided if possible.

S. Types of Credit Experience are 10 0/o of your score: It's good to have a d iverse mix ofaccounts. Having installment accounts, retail accounts, credit cards and a mortgage is good. Sincethis is only worth 10% of your score, it is not a big factor but can help. Do not go out a try to opendifferent kinds of accounts because a bad mix may hurt you and lower your score.

IMPROVING YOUR CREDIT SCORE:

Now that you know how your score is calculated, you can begin making changes.

1. Pay your bills on time. This sounds simple, but this is the biggest thing you can do to keepyour score high. Delinquent payments and collections have a major negative impact on yourscore.

2. Keep your balances low on unsecured revolving debt like credit cards. High balances stillowed can affect a score.

3. The amount of unused credit is an important factor in calculating your score. You should onlyapply for credit you need.

4. Make sure the information on your credit report is correct. If it is not, dispute it with theBureau Company or lender directly.

5. Removing negative accounts on your credit report has the biggest impact on your score.Generally negative things can stay on your credit for 7 to 10 years. But you can hire aprofessional credit repair service to do it for you.

Much success,
