📊 The 5 Factors of Your Credit Score
• Payment History (35%) — Do you pay on time? This is the biggest factor. One late payment can drop your score significantly.
• Credit Utilization (30%) — How much of your available credit are you using? Keep it under 30%, ideally under 10%.
• Length of Credit History (15%) — How long have you had credit? Older accounts help your score.
• Credit Mix (10%) — Having different types of credit (cards, loans, mortgage) helps slightly.
• New Credit (10%) — Too many new accounts or inquiries can hurt your score temporarily.
