About credit scores
Credit scores are calculated on a 900-point range and help determine the likelihood you will pay your bills on time. Although credit scoring models vary, generally credit scores from 660 to 724 are considered good, 725 to 759 are considered very good, and 760 and up are considered excellent.
- 760 to 900: Excellent
- 725 to 759: Very good
- 660 to 724: Good
- 600 to 659: Fair

Some of the reasons for a poor credit score can include
It’s important to stay on top of your monthly payments. Consistency in making monthly payments is an important step towards a stronger credit profile.
Too many open credit accounts can suggest to lenders that you’re not responsible with borrowing money, and too few accounts may not allow creditors to have enough information on how to manage your money to draw a solid conclusion.
If you’re constantly applying for more credit, it could raise a red flag when your credit scores are calculated, as it could suggest that you are overextending your ability to repay.
Maxed-out credit cards could negatively affect your credit scores.
Meanwhile, showcasing multiple examples of open credit accounts that don’t have late or missed payments may improve your credit scores.
