Questions Fréquentes

What is the single worst thing for your credit score?

Bankruptcy is the single most damaging event, potentially dropping your score 130 to 240 points and remaining on your report for 7 to 10 years. Foreclosures and accounts in collections are close behind, with 85 to 160 point drops.

How much does a late payment hurt your credit score?

A single 30-day late payment can drop your score 60 to 110 points depending on how good your credit was before. The higher your starting score, the bigger the drop. A person with a 780 loses more points than someone with a 650.

Does closing a credit card hurt your score?

Yes, in two ways. It reduces your total available credit (increasing utilization) and eventually lowers your average account age when the closed account drops off your report. The utilization impact is immediate; the age impact happens over years.
