You should regularly review your credit reports and scores so that you know what to expect when shopping for the best deals on new loans and lines of credit. Good credit scores can save you money by helping you qualify for low-interest mortgages, car loans, and credit cards. Lenders are more likely to offer lower interest rates to those with high credit scores, because they signify a history of good credit behavior. Low interest rates mean you pay less in interest each month on your credit cards, cars, home, and personal loans. These savings can mean you pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars less to your creditors each year.

Having good credit saves you money even if you aren’t applying for a new loan. It can help you get that great deal on an apartment, and lower car insurance and life insurance premiums. It can also keep you in the good graces of your existing creditors, making it less likely that they’ll ratchet up your current interest rate.

The key to determining your eligibility for credit is assessing how you’ve handled past credit obligations. Your credit reports provide potential lenders, service providers, employers, and other authorized parties with information about your credit history. A deep understanding of your credit reports can help you to use credit responsibly and identify errors that may impact your creditworthiness. Since creditors report your credit activity to the reporting agencies frequently (generally monthly), it is important to review your credit reports and scores often. Keep in mind that there are lots of free credit report tools out there, but none of them offers the ability to track, update, and forecast your credit scores.

No, checking your own credit reports and scores will not hurt your credit. In fact, you should regularly check your credit to be sure it does not contain potentially harmful errors or fraud.

Most consumers have three credit reports in their name—one from each credit reporting agency (Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion).

Credit reports containing errors can cost you money and time. You should dispute inaccurate information with the credit reporting agencies as soon as you discover it. The ScoreSense Dispute Center offers a step-by-step guide to help you file disputes with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion . If you are a member and spot signs of identity theft on your credit reports, you can refer to the ScoreSense Identity Theft Recovery Guide.

Your credit scores are based on the information in your credit reports from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. The formula used to calculate your credit scores is primarily based on your payment history, level of debt, and length of credit history. The longer you have proven yourself as a creditworthy consumer, the higher your credit scores are likely to be.

Different lenders have different definitions of a “good” credit score. Generally speaking, credit scores greater than 720 will help you qualify for loans with low interest rates. Scores can range from the 300s to the 800s. The better your score, the more likely you are to qualify for a new auto loan, credit card, or mortgage at a competitive interest rate.

ScoreSense categorizes credit scores in the following manner:

Great	760-850
Good	680-759
Fair	600-679
Poor	599 and below

Credit monitoring will continuously check your credit report for you, and alert you whenever any changes or additions appear. ScoreSense will send you an alert whenever an organization checks your credit, whenever your personal information changes, when a delinquency or other piece of negative information is added, or if a new account is opened in your name. Credit monitoring is the best way to ensure that you know about fraudulent activity before it wrecks your credit. The sooner you learn that your identity has been stolen, the easier it is to get it back.

Identity theft happens when someone else accesses your personally identifiable information—such as a name, date of birth, or Social Security number, and uses it to obtain goods, services, credit, or false credentials. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of ways that criminals can access personal information and use it to commit crimes. Our learning center provides information to help you better understand the different types of identity fraud that exist, and what you can do to protect yourself.
