What is a Good Credit Rating?

Credit scores are the basis by which our credit history and much of our financial viability lives and dies. A high credit score can see you approved for low interest rates lowered insurance rates, better deals on your loans and mortgages, and higher spending limits on your credit cards. But what is a good credit score then? What is a bad credit score?

According to the rating provided by the Fair Isaac Corporation, which is the guideline used by most credit bureaus, a credit score above 620 is considered good, while a score below 620 would require further investigation by the lender when making the decision about your loan. When your score edges into the middle to upper 700s, most lenders won’t care about a point here or there, because to achieve that rating in the first place indicates that you’re a responsible borrower.

900is the highest score possible, but is also nearly impossible to achieve. The tiniest fluctuation can take you down from this score, and what might not be damaging at a score of say, 650, is becomes very significant at 850. Yet a score of 770 is, in high school grade terms, an A+. The most secure scores and trustworthy spenders are ranked at 770 and above, though very few consumers have a score this high. 760 is still almost a perfect score (in terms of what lenders look for), and once you’re at this level, it becomes very difficult to increase your score by any significant margin.

750 is sort of the high water mark, and scores which achieve this and above have the potential to see dramatic improvements in interest rates and other arrangements with their lenders, although it does depend on the situation. Below this, all the way down to 700, you are lumped into a broad category by lenders as a "low risk spender", and so again there’s little need to worry about what you can do to improve your score. Low 700 scores will typically qualify a borrower for some of the best interest rates.

A score of 680 is sort of the drop off point for good interest rates, and between 680 and 580 is where most credit scores fall. A prime borrower is someone with a score that exceeds 650, has no late mortgage payments and very few (one) thirty day late payment penalties in the last twelve months. So while 750 is excellent, 650 is considered average. 620 becomes the bottom cut off for prime loans, which means that it’s sort of the dividing line between good and bad credit.

As reported on a survey by GMAC Mortgage, 62 per cent of consumers didn’t know that a score of 620 or above is where your credit needs to fall to be considered for a good interest rate. Being unaware of this, and what kinds of things affect this score, can literally cost consumers thousands of dollars.

Finally, all the way down to 550, and we find the zone identified as having the worst credit scores, and the highest rates on their loans. Individuals in this range are generally thought of by most lenders as being high risk borrowers, and therefore unlikely to receive very much leniency on their loans.

If you’re concerned about your credit score or want to know about ways in which you can improve your rating, consider speaking with a Credit Repair Agency. They can help you delete items from your history, and restore your rating to become a prime candidate for good loans and interest rates.
