The Experian score is a three-digit number that ranges from 300 to 850, and represents your creditworthiness, or how likely you are to repay debts.
Experian uses the FICO Score 8 model to calculate credit scores. This model considers payment history, amounts owed, length of credit history, new credit, and credit mix.
An Experian score of 720 or more is considered healthy and can help you get better interest rates and loan amounts than those with lower scores.
You can check your Experian score by visiting www.experian.com and clicking on the "Check your credit score" button.
Your Experian score can change once a month. However, it is important to note that your score may not change every month, even if there is new information on your credit report. This is because Experian uses a variety of factors to calculate your score, and not all of these factors are updated at the same time. For example, your payment history is updated every month, but your credit utilization may only be updated every 6 months.
Late payments, defaulting on loans or credit cards, and high credit utilisation can all have a negative impact on your score. In addition, opening too many new accounts in a short period of time and having a short credit history can also negatively affect your score.
Negative information can stay on your credit report for up to seven years, except for bankruptcies which can stay for up to ten years.
Yes, it is possible to improve your credit score. There are many ways to improve your credit score, including paying your bills on time, paying down your credit card balances, and increasing your overall available credit limit.
