There are a number of different credit scores. Since you did not indicate what credit score you are referring to I am assuming you are referencing your FICO score. You have 3 FICO scores, 1 for each of the major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union). The score measures the likihood you will repay your debt. You can help increase your score by paying on time and reducing your debt. The score is also used by lenders for loan decisions and interest rate assignment. The FICO score ranges from 300 to 850. The minimum FICO score lenders like to see is 723. The national average is about 678.
A FICO score is obtained with information taken from a person's available credit information. The score is sold by the FICO Company to interested financial institutions.
You still owe the debt but if it isn't reflected on your credit reports then it won't impact your FICO score which is what everyone bases the decision on giving a loan or not.
