Your credit score- It's a three-digit number that carries a lot of influence over your future. It can dictate whether or not you'll qualify for a home, car, or business loan. It can also be the deciding factor in whether or not you qualify for a low interest rate.

What exactly is a credit score and what factors contribute to its number?

A credit score is a number from 200 to 800 that reflects your payment and borrowing history. Are you a big spender? Do you make payments faithfully and on time? It's what lenders use to decide a number of factors, including whether or not to lend to you.

There are three main reporting agencies: TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax. Can a credit score from these agencies be biased? CLICK HERE TO READ MORE (in my monthly newsletter)
