Buying a new car changes what's called your utilization ratio. This is the amount of debt you to the amount of credit you have available. The lower your ratio, the better it is for your credit score. Additionally, before lenders give you a car loan, they'll want to see your credit score. Checking your score for this reason causes a "hard inquiry" to be placed on your credit report. Hard inquiries can lower your score and remain on your credit report for up to two years.

Credit Score and Credit Go Hand-In-Hand?

Yes, credit and credit score go hand-in-hand. Your credit is your ability to borrow money, like using a credit card or taking a loan. Your credit score is a number that reflects how well you manage that borrowed money. When you use credit responsibly—like paying bills on time and keeping balances low—your credit score improves. But missed payments or too much debt can lower your score. You can check your credit score using tools like PFScores, which helps you understand where you stand and how to improve your score over time.

Your credit score can be decreased by having collection accounts listed, a judgment, late payments or if you have too much available credit. If you have that much credit, you would want to contact the credit issuer to lower your credit limit. Your debt should never be more than 35% of the available credit. Timely, consistent payments to your creditors and low credit limits will help increase your credit score.
