Depending on what you purchased, you will see between one to three credit scores. 

The credit scores might be slightly different from each other due to different information on the credit reports and different weights put to different aspects of your credit score.

Step 4:  Investigate the details of your credit score.

 

Your credit score is not just a number magically selected from thin air – it has reasons that support that number.  In order to learn what is impacting your credit score, check out the analysis provided to you when you purchase your score.

First, you will see an indicator that tells you whether your score is “bad”, “not good”, “good”, “very good”, or “great”. 

Then, on the right, there is a breakout of the different categories that impact your score and how you scored in each of them. 

Pay attention to the ones you did not do as well in since those are the areas you will want to focus your attention.
