Q1. How do I know if my credit score is good?
The Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) has a chart list that shows grading for different credit score levels. On the chart, the score that is officially considered fair is 580. Most loan companies that accept bad credit will not go below this score. For some, 620 is the minimum credit score, and any score lower than it is considered bad credit.
If the FICO chart is not what you need, you can request your credit history from major credit bureaus within the U.S. They have a record of credit histories, and you can get yours without any charge.
Q2. Can I improve my credit score?
You can improve your credit score, so keep a record of your financial history and if you are in debt. Make it a point of duty to pay on time, and show consistency in paying back loans, as it builds confidence and trust.
If you are not going to meet any payment schedule when paying back loans, make a report and ask for a change of date. Otherwise, you risk sinking your credit score further and ruining your financial record.
