Understanding Scores

  1. Your income is not part of your credit score.

  2. Lenders may still review your income when deciding whether to approve you.

  3. Checking your own credit does not hurt your score.

  4. Hard inquiries usually happen when you apply for credit.

  5. Soft inquiries may happen when you check your own score or get prequalified.

  6. Different lenders may use different scoring models.

  7. Your score can vary by bureau.

  8. Your score can change when reported balances update.

  9. The details in your credit report matter more than the number alone.

  10. Learn what affects your score so you can make better decisions.
