Things You Probably Didnt Know About Credit Cards

Did You Know ?
  • You may have been using your credit card without
    making full use of its advantages? Here are 4
    credit card facts you probably did not know, but
    should!Here are the common things, according to
    Kramer, most people tend to get wrong about their
    scores.
  • Credit reports arent credit scores
  • There are alternatives to FICO
  • You dont need debt to build credit
  • Medical debt isnt treated differently

Credit Reports arent Credit Scores
  • Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax generate credit
    reports. A credit report is your financial
    history. Its silent on whether you are eligible
    for a mortgage, credit card or an auto loan.
    Thats the job of other companies such as FICO
    and VantageScore. They analyze your credit report
    to assign you the three-digit number.

There are Alternatives to FICO
  • VantageScore is probably the most well-known.
    Even inside FICO, there are more 50 different
    models in use. There are more than a thousand
    different score models that companies use. Some
    basic models include ones used auto loans, home
    loans, credit cards and insurance. Its possible
    to have a great score for credit cards and a poor
    score for a home mortgage!

5
You dont need debt to build credit
  • Many people get new credit cards and then make
    only minimum payments with the assumption that
    its good for their score. Paying your credit
    cards in full each month is the avenue for high
    scores.

6
Medical Debt is Not Treated Differently
  • No one knows where this idea comes from but
    nearly everything thinks that credit bureaus
    treat medical payments differently. Kramer
    insists it isnt true. In fact, medical bills,
    like any other expenses, will lower your credit
    scores.
