Factors That Influence Your Credit Score
- Payment History (35%): The most significant factor. Consistently paying bills on time has the biggest positive impact.
- Amounts Owed / Credit Utilization (30%): How much of your available credit you are using. Keeping this below 30% is recommended.
- Length of Credit History (15%): A longer credit history generally leads to a higher score.
- Credit Mix (10%): Having a mix of different types of credit, such as credit cards, retail accounts, and loans, can improve your score.
- New Credit / Inquiries (10%): Opening several new credit accounts in a short period can lower your score.
