Facts About A Good Credit Score:

A credit score is the credit history of an individual. A lender will use this as an indicator of the strength of an individual’s credit worthiness and responsibility of a consumer.

The score is given by three credit agencies. These are all important factors and a lender may also consider other criteria as well. In the United States a considered good credit score is 700 points or higher. Remember the higher your score the better qualified you are for financing.

There are companies called "sub-prime" lenders that lend to
borrowers below a good credit score and are considered risky borrowers. These
individuals can still qualify for financing but at a much higher interest rate.
