Credit Score Numbers: What they mean and how to get yours
Your credit score is the most important number you have when it comes to applying for a loan or mortgage. It is free to order copies of your credit report, but unfortunately, you do need to pay to get your credit report.
850 is the highest score you can get, while very bad scores are in the 300s. Between 675 and 720 is the average for most Americans, with 720 considered good for loan purposes. On the other end of the spectrum, having a score below 600 will make it harder to get approved.
Ordering your credit score will run you $5.95 or more depending on where you order it from. You can order all three of your credit scores through MyFico.com or through each of the nationwide consumer credit reporting companies in the US, Equifax, Experian & TransUnion.
