If you've ever applied for a job, rented an apartment, bought
or leased a car, opened a bank account, applied for a mortgage
or been issued a credit card, you've participated in the world
of credit. At this site, we believe credit can be a positive
force in every aspect of your life. To put this power to work
for you, however, it's essential that you understand your
own credit — and what your credit information says about you
to the growing number of companies that use credit information
to make life impacting decisions about you. These companies
include lenders, insurance companies, employers and utility
companies.
Credit 101 is a series of articles covering
the fundamentals of credit. The objective is to help you better
understand and, therefore, leverage your credit history in
order to get the most out of this essential force throughout
your life. The fact is that each of us has a relationship
— good or bad — with our credit. Our hope is that these articles
will assist you in improving that relationship — and, in the
end, make credit your friend and ally.
Our introductory article begins the series by
addressing four questions — basic, but still mysterious to
many of us:
-
What is a credit
report and what does it include?
-
Who gets to see my credit report?
-
Who decides what goes in my credit
report?
-
What is a credit score
and how is it calculated?
Credit reports
Think of your credit report
as your “credit worthiness” report card: unique, personal,
and — for those with both access and expertise — revealing.
Your credit report (a.k.a. credit file, credit profile, or
credit history) is a record of your past and current credit
obligations including your debts and payment history. In addition,
it contains personal data such as where you’ve lived, any
former names you’ve gone by, and your employers.
Your credit reports — widely
recognized as the official record of how you shop for and
manage credit obligations — are maintained by three national
credit reporting agencies, or credit bureaus: Trans Union,
Equifax, and Experian. They include:
Your personal data — This includes
your name (including previous names and any variations of
your name that are reported by your lenders), telephone number,
address, Social Security Number, birth date, and current employer.
Typically, previous addresses and employers are noted as well.
This information, for the most part, is used for nothing more
than identification.
Your creditor history — Your
credit reports contain a detailed record of your accounts
and payments to banks, credit unions, finance companies, mortgage
companies, credit card companies, retail stores, and a variety
of other creditors. These “trade lines” detail your account
and payment history, balances, credit limits, debt burden,
and the age of your accounts.
Inquiries or authorized credit checks
— An “inquiry” is a posting on your credit report that occurs
whenever it has been accessed. Each credit reporting agency
is legally obligated to maintain a complete record of all
inquiries for, in most cases, 24 months. This record can be
as simple as who pulled your credit report and on what date.
Relevant public records and collections
— Your credit report also includes credit related public records
including bankruptcies, judgments and tax liens. It also includes
any collection agency debts that you may have.
Your credit report does not
include:
-
Your level of education
-
Your medical history
-
Purchases paid by cash or check
-
Your gender, national origin, race, or
religion
-
Your investments or brokerage accounts
-
Your income
-
Alimony commitments
Who sees your credit report?
Are your credit reports
available to anyone who asks? Certainly they are not. Under
section 604 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), access
to your credit reports is limited to specific situations,
which are referred to as "permissible purposes." They are:
-
In response to a court order
-
For the purposes of disclosure to the
consumer
-
As part of a legitimate business transaction
which includes extending credit, reviewing the credit
report of an existing customer, and collecting a debt
-
For employment screening purposes
-
As part of the insurance underwriting
process
-
In connection with screening requirements
of a consumer’s eligibility for a license granted by the
government
-
In response to a request by state or local
child support enforcement authorities to determine an
individual’s capacity to pay child support
-
To determine the risk and valuation of
loans for the purposes of investing or servicing
Who decides what goes in your credit reports?
Many people are surprised
to discover that the information on your credit reports doesn't
actually originate with the credit bureaus at all. In reality,
the credit bureaus function more like warehouses: they store
data, which is reported to them from a variety of sources
including your mortgage and auto lenders, credit card issuers,
student loan companies, public record vendors, retail stores
and finance companies. Each of these “reporters” has either
extended credit to you or has been hired by the credit bureaus
to collect and report any derogatory public record information
that is in your name. Consumers even have the ability to update
their own credit reports by furnishing change of employment
or address information.
It's important to realize that having negative
information on your credit reports doesn't mean you're doomed
forever. Despite late payments — or even bankruptcy — you
can still make credit your friend.
In general, account information, including late
payments and other adverse information, is kept on your credit
reports for no longer than seven years. However, there are
certain exceptions to this rule:
-
Chapter 7 bankruptcy information will
remain on your credit reports for 10 years.
-
Unpaid tax liens might, depending on where
you live, remain on your credit reports indefinitely.
-
Certain states require that adverse credit
information remain on your credit reports no longer than
5 years.
What is a credit score and how is it calculated?
Credit scores are generated
from models that read the data from your credit reports to
generate a three digit number ranging from 300 to 850. The
resulting credit score is designed to assess your level of
credit risk by predicting whether or not you will pay back
credit obligations in a timely manner. Despite the fact that
anyone can build a credit scoring model, the industry standard
is the “FICO?” credit score named after the company that invented
it, The Fair I Corporation.
Every consumer who has a credit report most likely has three
FICO credit scores, one per each credit bureau report.
The FICO scoring systems are installed at each
of the three major credit reporting agencies making it efficient
for them to score their credit reports while they are being
sold and delivered to the entities requesting them. Creditors
then use these scores to determine whether or not they are
going to grant credit and at what interest rates. Insurance
companies use these scores to determine whether or not they
are going to write homeowner and automobile policies for the
applicant.
Note also that at any specific moment, the information
at each of the three credit bureaus is likely to differ, due
to different reporting schedules. As a result, the FICO scores
generated from the three credit bureaus will also differ.
Since lenders may review your FICO score and credit report
from any one or all three credit bureaus, it's a good idea
to verify that the information in all three credit reports
is accurate so to ensure a valid score.
If you find this topic confusing, frustrating,
or just plain nuts, you're not alone. But you can always take
comfort in the knowledge that things are getting better. Consumers
now have better access to their own credit reports and their
FICO scores. In fact, on December 1, 2004 the Fair and Accurate
Credit Transactions Act went into effect. This act calls for
free disclosure of your credit report once per year from each
of the three credit reporting agencies.
Who sees your credit scores?
Until a few years ago, the
short answer was: "Not you." Prior to 2001, FICO credit scores
were not available to consumers at all. In fact, the credit
bureaus contractually prohibited lenders from disclosing the
scores to their applicants citing a potential lack of “context”
behind any score disclosure. However, as consumers became
more aware of the fact that someone other than their professors
was grading them they pushed harder and harder for a peek
behind the mysterious formula that was used to calculate their
scores. So far, Fair Isaac has satisfied this demand to some
degree by providing consumers with access to and an explanation
of their scores for a fee.
Who influences your credit scores?
The simple answer is “You
do.” The detailed answer, however, is much more complex. It's
important to realize that your credit scores are in constant
flux, changing each time information changes, is added to
or deleted from your credit reports. Making a mortgage payment,
applying for a department store credit card and opening a
new line of credit will all trigger changes in your credit
report and, as such, a change in your credit score. A late
payment or the closure of a credit card account will also
have an immediate impact to your credit score.
The following categories drive your FICO credit
score:
-
Your payment performance history (35%)
-
Your current level of indebtedness (30%)
-
The age of your credit history (15%)
-
Your pursuit of new credit (10%)
-
The type of accounts in your credit report
(10%)
As you can see, payment performance and level
of debt account for 65% of the points in your FICO score.
The remaining categories are worth fewer points but are still
very important especially for those who are aiming to earn
the highest scores.
Be aware that under the Equal Credit Opportunity
Act, credit scoring may not factor in gender,
martial status, national origin, race, or religion. And note
that while credit scores are important, they're just a measurement
of your credit worthiness. Lenders will also consider your
income or “capacity” as well as other factors when considering
your application. For example, insurance companies will typically
consider previous insurance claims when evaluating an applicant.
Making friends with your credit
For decades, credit has
been portrayed as a mysterious and frightening cloud hovering
above us all. One of the worst things about this malefic vision
is that it seemed to leave us powerless to shape our own futures
and to attain our financial goals. By understanding your credit
— what it is, how it works, and who knows about and influences
it — you can get comfortable, even friendly with it. To be
sure, friendship requires time and effort as well as understanding.
But you'll find that this relationship is worth every bit
of energy you invest in it. Nurture, respect, and protect
your credit — and, like a good friend, it will be there for
you when you need it most.
Now let's TALK

is not an insult, it's just another way of saying in a journalistic
