What exactly is your credit score?  Your credit score is a numerical scored based on your credit report.  The credit score is based on a formula developed by the Fair Isaac Corporation.  You have three credit reports from the three major credit bureaus – Experian, Equifax, and Trans Union. 

Your credit scores affects the interest rate for your loan, and even if you can get a loan. 

Having a good credit score can save you a substantial money.  Over the course of a 30 year mortgage, the savings can be $100,000 or more. 

Use your credit responsibly and pay your bills on time and you’ll find that you’ll get a good credit score.
