How is your score calculated?
The credit score is based on a range of financial factors. These factors include how often you apply for credit, how much money you have borrowed and owe, and whether you regularly make repayments when required.
Your score can be negatively affected by late payments or if you default on a payment. You can improve your score by making regular repayments and being registered on the electoral roll. All of these factors are considered by companies when they are making their decision.
What is considered a good credit score?
The higher your credit score the more likely you will be accepted but there isn't a definitive number that guarantees this. Depending which company you apply for credit with they will have different criteria. A company may accept your credit application while other companies may not.
A free credit score can provide a helpful guide and give you a better understanding of how companies may view your application. This way you'll be able to make a more informed decision when you need to apply for credit.
