Frequently Asked Questions(FAQ)

What is the difference between your credit report and your credit score?

Credit reports are a written summary of your credit history. Credit scores, on the other hand, are three-digit numbers calculated using information from your credit report. Your credit score indicates your risk as a borrower. 

What is a good credit score?

FICO scores of 670 to 739 are considered good. VantageScore credit scores of 661 to 780 are considered prime. 

Can you have a perfect credit score?

850 is a perfect credit score. It is possible to achieve this score, but it is pretty rare. Less than 2% of all FICO credit scores are 850, according to Experian
