Your credit score is a 3-digit number between 300 and 850 that shows your credit “worthiness.” Lenders use it to determine your eligibility for loans, credit cards, and other financial products. A higher score typically means better access to credit and lower interest rates. Credit bureaus generally consider anything above 650 a good credit score.
A credit report is a track record of both your personal and financial credit information. It includes information from public records, personal identification, and debt accounts. Your report will show your payment history, debt balances, items in default, collections, and who you owe money to.
There are five main contributors to your credit score—payment history, credit usage, credit age, credit mix, and recent credit. The most important of these factors is your payment history. Learn more about what affects a credit score HERE.
Yes, it’s common to have multiple credit scores. There are various credit scoring models, which means your creditworthiness can be assessed differently depending on the model used by lenders or institutions. Dovly helps improve your overall credit health, which can lead to better scores across all the different models.
There are three main credit reporting bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
Any negative item that is inaccurate, unfair, or unverified can be challenged with the bureaus and your creditors. This includes collections, late payments, charge-offs, liens, bankruptcies, repossessions, and more.
Negative items like late payments or collections can typically remain on your credit report for seven years. Bankruptcies can stay for up to ten years. Dovly can assist in disputing inaccurate negative items.
A soft inquiry, such as a credit check for pre-approval offers, does not impact your credit score. A hard inquiry, often associated with credit applications, can have a temporary negative effect on your score (and will usually remain on your credit report for two years as an inquiry).
Absolutely. You can do independent research on good credit practices. You can contact the credit bureaus and your creditors to get any questionable negative items removed from your credit reports. That said, Dovly provides personalized tips and tricks to boost your credit and keep it high. Dovly AI streamlines the dispute process and can often achieve faster results with our AI credit engine.
