What Are Those Remarks Listed Under My Credit Score?
from Credit Coaching by Kristi · host Kristi Nowrouzi
If you have recently applied for credit, you know that about a week later there is something in the mail indicating the credit score that was used and the many reasons why your score "is what it is." if you have great credit, these reasons are going to make you mad! Because every one listed sounds derogatory! You could have a nearly perfect credit rating and have had great credit established for dozens of years... you will still read "risk factors" listed about your credit score. Rude! I am not sure why the bureaus go about it this way, but if you are looking for a compliment, it's not coming in these remarks- NO MATTER WHAT! Listen in to hear some of the remarks listed under nearly perfect credit and maybe you won't feel bad when you see your own!
