FICO Scores and Credit Reports…Understand your FICO® Scores, save money!
Having a strong credit education is important since your credit can impact many aspects of your life. Whether you're buying a home, a car or applying for a credit card - lenders want to know the risk they’re taking by lending you money. FICO® Scores are the credit scores used by 90% of top lenders to determine your credit risk. Your FICO® Scores (you have FICO® Scores for each of the 3 major bureaus) can affect how much money a lender will lend you and at what terms (interest rate). Higher FICO® Scores can often help you qualify for better rates from lenders - which can save you money!
