Credit Score Basics!
As adults, our credit score has a big influence on the major life purchases that we make. From buying home appliances to qualifying for a loan, this score determines what we can and cannot get. The tricky part about credit is knowing what exactly credit is and how it works!
Credit is defined as a number that depicts an individual's creditworthiness and scores range from 300 to 850. The credit score is based on a proprietary formula that is calculated off of things such as open accounts, repayment history, current debt, and more. The higher the score, better offers and opportunities are given to the individual. If one has a lower score, these offers and opportunities start to dwindle (and one might not even qualify)!
