Article Abstract:
The Federal Trade Commission Office of Consumer and Business Education aims to teach consumers the mechanics of credit scoring and credit-granting process. According to a consumer education material released by this office, credit scoring is defined as a system employed by creditors to ascertain the creditworthiness of consumers and to decide if they should grant credit to consumers. Creditors rely on credit applications and their credit reports to gather information about consumers and their credit experiences, which are then compared to consumer credit performance using a statistical program. This approach is objective because it uses real data and statistics. Consumers should pay their bills on time, pay down outstanding balances and refrain from accruing too much debt to improve their credit score.
