What Makes Up Your Credit Score?

KCMBlog.com has posted an excellent explanation of credit scores. I encourage you to visit the website to read the information in full, but I am going to post what actually makes up the score. Very interesting!

35% is based on payment histories
30% is based on amounts owed (yikes for me)
15% is based on length of credit history
10% is based on new credit and inquiries
10% is based on the type of credit used

VERY GOOD INFO TO KNOW! Please visit http://www.kcmblog.com for more details!
