What does my credit score do?

Credit Scores

To determine if you qualify for credit, a financial institution may review your credit scores. These scores are available through each of the three big credit reporting agencies – Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. Each one uses a different formula to determine your credit score. In addition, since they operate independently of each other, the information available through each one will vary. A financial institution will often pull all three reports to make sure they have your complete credit history.
