A good credit history involves responsibly managing debt by doing things like paying bills on time every month. And because credit history plays a part in credit reporting and scoring, it’s worth noting what credit scoring companies consider to be good scores.For example, VantageScore says scores between 661 and 780 are good. And FICO considers a good credit score to be between 670 and 739. But remember that a good credit score is merely a reflection of good credit history. And that decisions about loans and credit approvals are ultimately up to the lenders themselves.
