问题     Most people know that a lot is riding on their credit score, from the interest rates you pay on your loans, to your ability to rent an apartment, buy a home or car, and even to find a job. Companies are increasingly using credit scores as an objective measure of not only your credit, but your credibility. But, there’s still a lot of confusion out there about credit scores and what they mean. Some people confuse a credit report with a credit score, when they are two different things. A credit report contains all the information in a person’s credit file maintained by a Credit Bureau. The data in a credit report is interpreted through a complex mathematical process to determine a credit score, which is a single number that commonly ranges from 300(terrible)to 850(perfect).
    People also incorrectly assume that checking your credit score lowers it—this is partly true. When applying for a loan or another open line of credit, creditors check your score to see if you are a viable candidate. This can penalize you and impact your score. Inquires made by you are not shown to creditors and will not lower your score. In fact, it’s essential to know what your score is, because it can change at any time, and it impacts so many different areas of your life. Not paying your bills or making delinquent payments lowers your score and makes you undesirable to credit companies and advertisers. By consistently managing your score, you take the control back from creditors by knowing exactly how much you qualify for when it’s time to take out a loan or open a new line of credit.
    Many companies have figured out ways to charge consumers for reporting on their credit scores. But, there is no reason to pay for this service as everyone has a right to this information, free of charge.
