Breaking Down Your FICO Score, Key Factors That Impact Your Credit!
Understanding how your FICO score is calculated can help you improve it more effectively. Your payment history makes up 35% of your score, which includes information on payments, delinquencies, and the number of open accounts. The credit utilization ratio, which accounts for 30% of your score, measures how much you owe compared to your credit limit. The length of your credit history, contributing 15% to your score, favors those with longer credit histories. New credit makes up 10% of your score, as credit bureaus assess how many new accounts you've opened recently; opening too many accounts quickly can hurt your score. Finally, credit mix accounts for 10%, meaning having various credit types benefits your score, like credit cards, loans, and retail accounts.

If I Have Bad Credit, is it Better to Buy a Used Car?
Buying a used car often makes more sense if you've got bad credit. They're way cheaper than new cars, so you don't have to borrow as much, which makes it easier to get a loan. Lenders are usually more willing to finance smaller amounts. Plus, your monthly payments will be lower, which is super important when you're on a tight budget and trying to fix your credit. New cars lose value fast, but someone else already took that hit with a used car. And there are tons of used cars out there, so you have a better chance of finding something reliable and affordable that you like. At Camden Chevrolet, we've got a massive selection of used cars, so we're confident we can find the perfect one for you.
What Does It Mean to Diversify Your Credit Mix?
A diverse credit mix, meaning you have different types of credit accounts, can boost your credit score. Lenders like seeing that you can juggle various financial responsibilities, and a car loan is a great way to prove it. This mix of credit types makes up 10% of your FICO score. A car loan is an installment loan that adds a different kind to your credit report than your credit cards (revolving credit). Managing multiple types of credit responsibly shows lenders you can handle various kinds of debt.
