It is a number that the 3 major credit bureaus assigns you from your history of paying your bills on time. For instance, Equifax is one of them and the highest score is 850. If you have a score of 740 plus you can go into any dealership and just give them general info and walk out with a car. If your score is 450 you will have to pay a very high interest rate and maybe even have a cosigner. The best thing to do is to not apply for credit you do not need. Always pay your bills on time. Apply for credit only if you must have it and as time marches on and they see you keep paying on time your score will go up and when you apply for a loan when you have a higher score you will probably not get turned down and you can do away with needing a cosigner. You are entitled to a free credit report from each bureau every year, go to, www.equifax.com and take a look at thier site. You can even get your credit report online if you answer some identifying info, good luck.

Honestly, I don't know. It's good, but I don't know how good. It was good enough when we went to buy a house a couple years ago that we got an absurdly low mortgage rate.

Somewhere between 300 and 900. :)

There are 3 major credit bureaus and they all look at the way you pay all of your creditors from charge cards to auto loans, home mortgages and such. If you pay on time you will wind up with a good score, if you are late or not paying your score will drop. Equifax is a major Credit Bureau and the highest score you can get is 850 with the average person scoring around 700-725. If you have a high score you can go into a car dealer and walk out with a new car at the best rate. If you have a score of 500 be prepared to pay a high interest rate, fill out alot of paperwork and possibly have a co-signer. Do not open new accounts that you do not really need, that will make your score go down. Just be constant and pay all your bills on time every time. If you want a copy of your free yearly credit reports you can call the 3 agencies and they will send you a copy once a year. If you wish to find out your credit score go to www.fico.com and follow the instructions, good luck.

On what scale? I'm too cheap to check my FICO scores, but the estimate is 705-755 due to a recent inquiry. I haven't heard back yet, but I'm nervous.
