Credit Reports and FICO® Scores

When you apply for credit – such as a credit card, auto loan or mortgage – the company from which you’re seeking credit checks your credit report from one or more of the three major consumer reporting agencies (CRAs). In addition to your credit report(s), they will most likely use a credit score, such as a FICO® Score, in their evaluation of risk before lending their money to you. There is more than one type of credit score, but FICO® Scores are used in 90% of lending decisions.

Each lender has its own process and policies for making decisions when reviewing a credit application. Most lenders consider a FICO® Score along with additional information, either from one or more of your credit reports or from supplemental information you provide with your application, such as your income. 


Credit Risk Items that Lenders Generally Pay the Most Attention to:

  • Your FICO® Score
  • Your payment history – to see if you have paid your bills on time
  • Your current debt – to see if you’re able to reasonably take on more debt
  • Whether you have had any collection accounts
  • Any public records, such as bankruptcies or judgments
  • The types of financing you have successfully managed
  • The length of your credit history
  • Recent activity, including new accounts and credit inquiries by other lenders
  • Your income – to determine your ability to make required payments*

Because FICO® Scores are based on the information in your credit reports, it is very important to make sure that the credit report information is accurate. You should review your credit report from each consumer reporting agency at least once a year and before making any large purchases, such as a home or car.

You have the right to obtain one free credit report each year from each of the consumer reporting agencies through www.AnnualCreditReport.com. Please note that your free credit report will not include your FICO® Score.
