What's helping Low revolving credit usage You've limited the use of your available revolving credit. 

Ratio of your revolving balances to your credit limits : 3 % For XXXX High Achievers, the average ratio of the revolving account balances to credit limits is less than 7 %. 

XXXX Scores evaluate the total revolving account balances in relation to the total credit limits on those accounts. People who keep their ratio of balances to credit limits low pose less risk to lenders than those with higher ratios. 

Long credit history You have an established credit history. 

Your oldest account was opened : 22 Years, 4 Months ago XXXX High Achievers opened their oldest account 25 years ago, on average. 

Average age of your accounts : 12 Years, 1 Month Most XXXX High Achievers have an average age of accounts of 9 years or more. 

XXXX Scores measure the age of the oldest account and the average age of all accounts being reported. Generally speaking, having a relatively long credit history and not opening many new accounts is reflective of lower risk. 

What's hurting Serious delinquency You have a serious delinquency ( 60 days past due or greater ) or derogatory indicator on your credit report. 

Number of your accounts that were ever 60 days late or worse or have a derogatory indicator : 1 account Virtually no XXXX High Achievers have a 60 days late payment or worse listed on their credit report. 

The presence of a serious delinquency or derogatory indicator is a highly correlated predictor of future payment risk. People with previous late payments are more likely to pay late in the future. As these items age, they will have less impact on the XXXX Score. Most late payments stay on your report for no more than seven years. 

Recent missed payment You recently missed a payment or had a derogatory indicator reported on your credit report. 

Your most recent missed payment happened : 1 Month ago About 98 % of XXXX High Achievers have no missed payments at all. But of those who do, the missed payment happened nearly 4 years ago, on average. 

The presence of missed or late payments or derogatory indicators on a credit report, including the number of missed payments, how late they were and how recently they occurred, are correlated with future credit risk. Generally speaking, people who consistently pay their bills on time are less risky compared to people with recently missed payments. As missed payments age, they have less impact on a XXXX Score. 

Lack of recent non-mortgage loan information You have a lack of recent activity from a non-mortgage installment loan. 

Your credit report shows a {$0.00} balance on your non-mortgage loans ( such as auto or student loans ) or a lack of sufficient recent information about your loans. Having a non-mortgage installment loan with no missed payments and a low balance along with other types of credit demonstrates that a person is able to manage a variety of credit types. Having a 0 % installment loan balance to loan amount ratio is considered slightly more risky than having a low installment loan ratio. 

Few accounts paid on time You have an insufficient number of accounts that are currently paid as agreed. 

Number of your accounts currently being paid as agreed : 7 accounts XXXX High Achievers have an average of 6 accounts currently being paid as agreed. 

The XXXX Score considers the number of accounts showing on time payments. Generally, the higher the number reported the lower the risk. Compared to other people with a similar age of credit history, the number of accounts you have that are currently paid as agreed is low. 

Prepared For XXXX XXXX XXXX generated : XX/XX/XXXX Disclaimer About your XXXX Score XXXX or other XXXX Scores Your XXXX Score XXXX powered by XXXX XXXX is formulated using the information in your credit file at the time it is requested. Many but not all lenders use XXXX Score XXXX. In addition to the XXXX Score XXXX, we may offer and provide other base or industry-specific XXXX Scores ( such as XXXX Auto Scores and XXXX Bankcard Scores ). The other XXXX Scores made available are calculated from versions of the base and industry-specific XXXX Score models. 

Base XXXX Scores ( including the XXXX Score XXXX ) range from XXXX to XXXX. Industry-specific XXXX Scores range from XXXX. Higher scores represent a greater likelihood that you'll pay back your debts so you are viewed as being a lower credit risk to lenders. A lower XXXX Score indicates to lenders that you may be a higher credit risk. There are many scoring models used in the marketplace. The type of score used, and its associated risk levels, may vary from lender to lender. But regardless of what scoring model is used, they all have one purpose : to summarize your creditworthiness. Keep in mind that your score is just one factor used in the application process. Other factors, such as your annual salary and length of employment, may also be considered by lenders when you apply for a loan. 

What this means to you : Credit scoring can help you understand your overall credit rating and help companies better understand how to serve you. Overall benefits of credit scoring have included faster credit approvals, reduction in human error and bias, consistency, and better terms and rates for American consumers through reduced costs and losses for lenders. Your lender or insurer may use a different XXXX Score than XXXX Score XXXX or other base or industry-specific XXXX Scores provided by us, or different scoring models to determine how you score.
