[H1] What Is a Credit Score, and How Does It Affect You?
Get Started — it’s free
Always free and will not impact your credit score.
When lenders are reviewing applications for loans or credit cards, they want a
simple way to tell if you will pay back the money you borrow. For that, they look at your credit score. This three-digit number represents how well you manage your money, and it can
have
a significant impact on your family finances. Your credit score can determine whether you are approved for a loan and how
much
interest you pay.
Landlords may even check credit scores and credit history when deciding whether
to
approve a rental application. If you’re wondering how one number can be used for so many important decisions,
keep reading for everything you need to know about what credit scores are and how they are calculated.
Get Matched to a Loan
[IMG: Your credit score basic]
[IMG: Your credit score basic]
[IMG: Your credit score basic]
[H2] Your Credit Score: The Basics
While there is a lot to unpack about credit scores, these are the
essential points you need to understand.
Credit scores are calculated using formulas that include factors such as how much you
owe and whether you pay on time.
Multiple companies create credit scores, but those from FICO and VantageScore are
most used by lenders.
Scores usually range from 300-850, with higher scores meaning better credit and more
favorable lending terms.
[H2] How Your Credit Score Is Calculated
You don’t have one single credit score. Instead, you have many
credit scores, and each has its own formula. Still, they all look at roughly the same general
factors using
data from your credit report. For example, here is how FICO weights these factors for its
general scoring model:

[H3] Payment History
This is often the most important factor in all credit scoring
models. Payment history refers to whether you pay your bills on time or
have late or missing payments. It also reflects whether you have delinquent accounts in
collections or filed for bankruptcy.
[H3] Amounts Owed
Credit scoring companies look at how much you owe compared to
your credit limits. Known as a credit utilization ratio or rate, the percentage of
credit you use should ideally be below 30%. For instance, if you have a combined $1,000 limit on all
your
credit cards, it’s best not to carry more than a $300 balance. Having a high credit utilization rate
can indicate you are
overextended financially and drop your credit score.
[H3] Length of Credit History
Typically, a longer credit history is better for your credit
score. That’s one reason many experts advise against closing unused
accounts. In addition to the age of your oldest account, a credit score may
also take into consideration the age of your newest account and the average age of all your
accounts.
[H3] Credit Mix
This refers to the different types of debt you might carry.
That’s one reason many experts advise against closing unused
accounts. In addition to the age of your oldest account, a credit score may
also take into consideration the age of your newest account and the average age of all your
accounts.
[H3] New Credit
Opening several new accounts at once can drop your credit score.
It can signal that you are in financial trouble now or could be
shortly in the future. Even if you don’t open a new account, applying for credit cards
and loans results in “hard inquiries” on your credit report that can reduce your credit score. Not
all credit scores will weight these factors the same as the
FICO percentages above. In fact, FICO itself has many scoring models that are designed
specifically for certain types of lenders, such as those offering auto loans, mortgages, or
bank cards.
[H2] Who Decides Your Credit Score
Two companies create most scores used by lenders today.
[H3] VantageScore
Created in 2006 by the three main credit reporting
companies, VantageScore is an alternative to FICO.
VantageScore was designed to provide scores for people
who traditionally haven’t been eligible for a FICO score.
For instance, while FICO requires someone to have an
account open for at least six months to receive a credit score, VantageScore can issue a
one after an account has been open for only one month.
[H3] FICO
Previously known as the Fair Isaac Corporation, FICO
is the company that created the first credit score in 1989.
Prior to that, there was no standard way for lenders
to gauge the creditworthiness of an applicant.
Today, FICO scores are the most commonly used scores
for lending decisions.
To create their scores, FICO and VantageScore rely on data
from the three major credit reporting companies:
[IMG: small-business-check-mark]
Equifax
[IMG: small-business-check-mark]
Experian
[IMG: small-business-check-mark]
TransUnion
These companies collect data from lenders to create credit
reports. Each report lists what accounts you have open, whether you
have made timely payments, and whether any debts are currently in collections.
[H2] How Credit Scores Work
Using data from the credit reporting companies, FICO and VantageScore create
scores that range from 300 to 850. Depending on the number, your credit may be deemed poor, fair, good,
very good or
excellent. According to Experian, here’s how each company’s scores break down:

These are just guidelines, though, and what one lender thinks is a good score may
vary from how others define it. Lenders often use credit scores in conjunction with other information
when making
decisions. For instance, they may also consider your income and employment history.
[H2] Why Are My Credit Scores Different?
If you check your credit score through various websites, you might see that the number can vary. There are three reasons for this:
[IMG: one icon]
You might be seeing scores from different models. For
example, one website might display a FICO score while another uses a VantageScore.
[IMG: two icon]
The scores may be based on reports from different credit
reporting
companies.
[IMG: three icon]
The scores were collected at different times.
It is up to lenders to report information to credit bureaus, and some don’t
report to all three. As a result, your credit report from each company may be different, and that
could result in a different credit score depending on which report is used. FICO creates different
scores based on each credit report.
You have three FICO scores for each of its models: one based on your Equifax
report, one based on your Experian report, and one based on your TransUnion report.
The latest version of VantageScore – VantageScore 4.0 – is the first
“tri-bureau” credit score. That means it incorporates data from all three major credit reporting
companies into a single score.
Your credit score is based on a snapshot of your finances at any moment. A
score that is calculated before you make a monthly payment. When the balance on an account is higher,
may be different than the score you will see after that payment is reported.
[H2] Why Does a Credit Score Matter?
A low credit score can cost you money and opportunities. Lenders and others who
have access to your credit score make decisions based upon
it. If your score is low, lenders may think you are likely to default on payments, so
they charge a higher interest rate to offset that risk. Consumers with high credit scores are seen as
reliable customers and rewarded with
low interest rates to encourage their business. Watch your credit reports for any errors that could
unnecessarily reduce your
credit score.
By law, you are entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three
credit reporting agencies. You can request these from AnnualCreditReport.com, the only official website
authorized by the agencies. If you find something incorrect, follow the company’s instructions for disputing information to ensure that it doesn’t negatively impact your credit score.

[H2] Frequently Asked Questions
How does a personal loan work?
Personal loans work a bit differently than some other forms of consumer credit.
With a home or auto loan, for instance, you take on debt that’s backed by a physical asset – a house or a vehicle.
If you default on the loan, the creditor can seize the asset.
Unsecured personal loans work more like credit cards – you incur debt that’s not backed by a physical asset.
You don’t have to put up any collateral to get a personal loan, but you do have to demonstrate creditworthiness. That typically means a “good” credit score of 670 to 739. You’ll get the best loan terms if your credit is at or above the top of that range. Consumers with fair or poor credit scores can still qualify for personal loans with many lenders, but you’ll get less-favorable loan offers.
Personal loans have fixed monthly payments and set maturity dates. Loan length is commonly from 12 to 60 months. The annual percentage rate, or APR, is largely determined by your credit score.
What can you use a personal loan for?
Many consumers take out personal loans to consolidate their debt consolidation, which is the process of pooling multiple debt obligations into one payment through another form of consumer debt. There are many situations where a personal loan can make good financial sense, however. These include:
Paying off credit cards
Credit cards typically have high interest rates — that’s the price you pay for accessing unsecured credit. A personal loan with a significantly lower APR can save you thousands of dollars in interest if you are carrying substantial balances on multiple credit cards.
Pro: Creditworthy borrowers can find personal loan offers with an APR of less than 10% with many lenders.
Con: That could be half of what you are paying your credit card issuers. However, you’re only swapping one form of debt for another.
Pay off other debts and loans
You can use personal loan funds to pay off most forms of existing debt, including medical bills, auto loans, or payday loans. This strategy also can help you bring late accounts up to date if you’ve fallen behind. You may also be able to lower your monthly payments if you can secure a loan at favorable terms.
Pro: Rolling all or some of your debt obligations into one fixed payment makes it much easier to manage your debt.
Con: Some existing debts, such as medical bills, don’t usually accrue interest, so a personal loan might cost you more over the length of the loan.
Home improvement
Many people don’t have thousands of dollars in their checking accounts to pay for big-ticket home improvement projects. A personal loan can help you pay for necessary home improvements such as a new water heater, air conditioner or septic system. Depending on how much additional debt you want to take on, you could even take out a personal loan to fund a complete kitchen or bathroom remodel.
Pro: A personal loan allows you to make payments on expensive HVAC or other important home repairs.
Con: you’ll be taking on more debt as well as adding to your monthly expenditures if you fund those purchases with a personal loan rather than using savings or a home equity loan.
Start or improve a business
Starting a business can be costly.
A personal loan can help pay for initial startup costs, taxes, and regulatory fees, as well as inventory, rent, payroll or tenant improvements. Unlike a small business loan from the Small Business Administration, you won’t have to show lenders much more than your creditworthiness.
Pro: A personal loan can help you get your business off the ground or pay for some key expenditures.
Con: If your business fails, you’ll still have to pay back the money. If your business is languishing in red ink, a personal loan may just be postponing the inevitable.
Get caught up on bills
Falling behind on monthly household bills, alimony or child support payments can bring on depression and a sense of hopelessness. You can even go to jail for failing to pay court-ordered child support.
You can get caught up on all your back payments with a personal loan.
Pro: Getting caught up on bills alleviates stress and staves off despair.
Con:Taking on more debt when you are already struggling financially might not be your best option.
Get cash for an emergency
It’s difficult to plan for the unexpected.
Emergencies can include a flooded basement, blown engine in your car, or an unexpected surgery. Many lenders can deliver funds to help you pay for emergencies in the same day or one to two business days.
Pro: Emergency loans are delivered fast, and you can pay off emergency expenses with manageable monthly payments that won’t take a big bite out of your monthly budget.
Con:Make sure you are in a strong enough financial position to handle additional debt.
What are some alternatives to personal loans?
Personal loans aren’t the only way to quickly get some cash when you need it. Here are three alternatives to personal loans:
Get cash for an emergency
If you don’t need thousands of dollars, and you can pay the balance off in a few months, your credit card might be your best option.
Home equity line of credit (HELOC)
Many consumers use the equity in their homes for large purchases, especially those related to their homes.
Small Business Administration (SBA) loan
The SBA can help match you with local lenders where you might qualify for a small business loan. The SBA’s microloan program offers up to $50,000 to help start or expand a business.
Can I get a personal loan if I have bad credit or no credit?
Creditworthy borrowers will receive the best rates on personal loans.
Consumers with poor or bad credit — a FICO score below 580 — can still qualify for personal loans through some lenders.
Qualification criteria varies, but 580 to 600 is often the minimum credit score. Interest rates could exceed 35%, which makes the payment much higher and you’ll pay a lot more in interest.
Is a personal loan better than a credit card?
Personal loans are usually the best options for large purchases — say $10,000 or more. Credit cards, meanwhile, often work well to finance more modest-sized purchases. There are pros and cons to both.
Credit cards are revolving credit, so your payment will vary depending on how much you owe. If you add a $5,000 purchase to your credit card and you already have a $5,000 balance, your payment will be above $300 a month and you’ll also pay a lot in interest.
Personal loans, on the other hand, have fixed payments and maturity dates. A new credit card might come with a low introductory APR on purchases or if you transfer a balance from another card, so that path might work in your favor.
What are the requirements for getting a personal loan?
Your credit score is probably the single-most important requirement for getting a personal loan. You’ll also have to verify your address and guaranteed monthly income. Some lenders may want to look at your existing debt obligations to calculate your debt-to-income ratio (DTI) to determine if you have the financial wherewithal to pay back the loan. You’ll have to complete a loan application, which may result in a hard pull on your credit file through one of the three credit-reporting agencies.
What documents do I need for a personal loan?
Before applying for a personal loan, have these documents at the ready:
• Proof of identity, such as a driver’s license or other form of government- or
state-issued ID
• Proof of income, such as W2 statements
• Bank statements
• Tax returns if you are self employed
Documentation requirements
likely will vary by lender, however.
What are some dos and don’ts of personal loans?
If you’ve weighed your options and decided that taking out a personal loan is your best option, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Don’t take the first attractive offer
Don’t jump on the first offer, especially if you know you have good credit. Shop around for the best rate.
Borrow only what you need
Just because you can borrow $30,000 doesn’t mean you should. Avoid temptation and stick to the barest minimum amount that meets your needs.
Never miss a payment
Late or missed payments are a death-knell for your credit score. Set up automatic payments or set calendar alerts to inform you when it’s time to make another monthly payment.
Don’t borrow if you are struggling financially
A personal loan will provide a cash infusion, but if you are in dire financial straits you’re only compounding the problem. Figure out ways to cut your expenses instead.

[IMG: check image]

Higher amounts
You may be able to get a higher amount from a personal loan than you have available in savings or on a credit card.

Better APRs
If your credit card is high, you may qualify for a personal loan at a lower rate.

Keep your savings in the bank
You can hold on to your savings and 401(k) accounts by getting a personal loan instead.

Get money faster
Borrowing from friends or family or starting a fundraiser for your emergency could take more time than you have in a real crisis. Some personal loans can be funded in a day.

[IMG: check image]

Predictable payoff
Personal loans are installment loans, which means you have the same payment amount every month and a set date for payoff.

[H2] Emergency Loan FAQs

Get answers to your most pressing emergency loan questions.

Can I get an emergency loan without a job?
It can be difficult to get a personal emergency loan without a job, but if you’ll be receiving unemployment payments, you may still be able to qualify. AmONE can help determine which type of loan you might be able to qualify for.

What credit score do you need for an emergency loan?
Credit score requirements vary depending on the lender. Some lenders will fund loans with fair credit, but the higher your credit score is, the better your options will be. You should still apply, though, because you may be surprised to find that your credit score isn’t as bad as you think it is.

How fast can I get an emergency loan?
If you are proactive and able to confirm your financial information with the lender right away and provide backup documentation, you could have funding as soon as the next day after you apply.

Is an emergency loan worth it?
If you are experiencing a financial crisis and have the means to make payments on the loan, an emergency loan could be worth it to ensure you have quick funding for your unexpected expense.
