A Couple Important Factors in Understanding Credit
​
1. The financial industry's credit standard recommend a credit mix which is comprised of 5 major categories: Payment History, Amounts Owed, New Credit, Length of Credit History, and Credit Mix (Revolving and Installment accounts).
​
2. Credit utilization. It's best to only use 30% or less of your extended credit limit.
​
3. Debt to Income Ratio. Creditor's like to see a debt to income ratio of less than 36%.
How to calculate:
Divide the total of all monthly debt payments by gross monthly income, giving you a percentage.
​
4. Creditors select credit bureaus with which to do business. Not all creditors do business with all bureaus which is how consumers end up with three different scores from the major bureaus.
If at all possible, try to do business with creditors who report to all three bureaus.
