 Once a file is begun on you (i.e. once you open a bank account or
have bills to pay) then information about you is stored on the record. If you
are late paying a bill, the clients call the credit bureaus and note this. Any
unpaid bills, overdue bills or other problems with credit count as “dings” on
your credit report and affect your score.
Information such as what type of
debt you have, how much debt you have, how regularly you pay your bills on time,
and your credit accounts are all information that is used to calculate your
credit score.
Your age, sex, and income do not
count towards your credit score. The actual formula used by credit bureaus to
calculate credit scores is a well-kept secret, but it is known that recent
account activity, debts, length of credit, unpaid accounts, and types of credit
are among the things that count the most in tabulating credit scores from a
credit report.
