What does the Credit Score Represent?
Simply put, the lower the score, the more likely you are to file bankruptcy. The higher the score, the less likely you are to file bankruptcy. Keep in mind the bureaus have no idea of your monthly income, but use other factors to determine your score. The most important factor used in determining your score is your credit card limits in relation to your outstanding balances. The higher the limit, with a low or zero balance, the better. Likewise, a consumer with credit cards at or near the maximum credit limit will equate to a lower credit score. It is also important to know that currently all credit bureaus score somewhat differently. We have seen as much as a 100 point difference between bureaus.
