Your TransUnion FICO Risk Score Classic 04 is a credit score that indicates your credit risk level based on your credit history and financial behavior.
The FICO Classic 04 score is important in determining an individual's creditworthiness because it provides a numerical representation of their credit risk based on their credit history. Lenders use this score to assess the likelihood that a person will repay a loan or credit card debt on time. A higher score indicates lower risk, making it easier to qualify for loans and obtain better interest rates.
FICO credit scores, which are the most extensively used credit scores, range from 300 to 850. A credit score of 826 means that you would be considered a low risk for a loan. You would also have a lower interest rate on a loan than someone who has a lower FICO credit score.
True. The FICO score is the most commonly used credit score in the United States, relied upon by many lenders to assess an individual's creditworthiness. It ranges from 300 to 850, with higher scores indicating better credit risk. Other scoring models exist, but FICO remains the standard in the industry.
Fair Isaac Corporation is the major credit scoring company that compiles your credit scores from your payment history.

Go to FICO's website and check your raw credit score by paying a small fee. Compare it to credit bureau reports.
Any credit score (also called a FICO score) of 650 or higher, most lenders will be comfortable with. Any score over 700 is considered an excellent risk.

I suggest visiting www.myfico.com for further research on this question. Basically, FICO takes an undisclosed amount of unspecified factors such as payment history, type and usage of credit, available limits and creates a mathematical score of risk.

In general, yes a score of 735 is considered a great score. With this score you should get the best interest rate at almost all lenders. However, each lender and each industry has a different tolerance for the risk they will take. Your FICO score is really only a measurement of the risk of you defaulting on a debt. Some lenders for example may require a score of 740 or 760 to be granted their best interest rate. For a FHA mortgage, a FICO score of 640 will get you the best rate available.
A FICO score is based on your credit rating and is a tool for creditors to decide whether to give credit to a person or company. There are sites that offer your credit report and FICO score for a charge and others that offer them for free.
This is from myFico.com ;-) The presence of a collection is a powerful predictor of future payment risk. If this is valid, paying off the collection will not remove it from your credit report. The fact that it occurred is still predictive of future payment risk and will be considered by your FICO score. However, as this item ages and falls off of your credit report, its impact on your score will gradually decrease. Most collections stay on your report for no more than seven years. Most changes to a collection, such as a change to the collection's company, account number, balance, or status, have No Effect on the FICO score. A FICO score could be affected if the "Date Assigned" for the collection is revised. The more recent the "Date Assigned," the greater the negative effect the collection has on the FICO score. ______________________________________________________________ & Just *imho* I do not recommend Not paying it only because it will not raise your Fico. Because I would think the fact that it shows up as Paid (or making payments) would have at least some impact on a creditors view of you as how high of a risk you are or not.
FICO is a company that takes your credit history and uses it to create a numerical representation of your credit risk. You history determines your score. It is an important distinction because you may be denied credit or pay a higher rate due to either a lower FICO score or something in your credit history. Many people with good scores fail to understand that a prior late payment on their home or something of similar impact in their past may cause they problems despite a good score.
920 is not a FICO score, which currently caps at 850. However, there are many "scoring models" which offer credit risk scores. FICO is the primary scoring provider and is what most people unwittingly mean when they talk about credit scores. It is possible to get other scoring numbers from other providers, but these numbers will be difficult if not impossible to match to a traditional FICO score to gain perspective without fulling understanding the scale of that other provider. 920 might be high on their scale, or they might have a scale ranging from 900-2000.
Opening three lines of credit will drop your score because it increases your perceived risk. It is impossible for risk managers to immediately assess how you will perform with the new credit availability so your risk goes up and your credit score goes down. It takes a long time to build a good score. I suggest you make sure you're keeping all of your REPORTED bills paid on time. Pay down balances as far as you can to keep your debt to income ratio in the low risk category and your score will start to improve. The algorythm that FICO uses to calculate your credit score is extremely complex. Take good care of the credit you have now and remember your debt to income ratio. That is HUGE.
For consumers the generally accepted answer would be 850. You "score" is a mathematical interpretation of risk based on information contained in your credit report, and can be produced by many different companies. The most commonly used is the FICO (Fair, Issac & Co) score, which has a max score of 850.
