Credit Scores and How They Can Affect You


Listen Later

In today's episode, we go inside your FICO score - first by explaining what it is, and the factors that go into calculating it. They are:

  • 35% Payment History
  • 30% Amounts Owed
  • 15% Length of Credit History
  • 10% Credit Mix
  • 10% New Credit

In addition to breaking down each of these categories, we will also cover what's changing in the newest FICO Score 9 version. This includes changes in how medical debt and rent payments are counted.

Finally, Richard provides some key tips on how to monitor your credit report, dispute items, and maximize your score.
