This slide explains how a credit score is determined, detailing the five key factors: Payment History (35%), Amounts Owed (30%), Length of Credit History (15%), Credit Mix (10%), and New Credit (10%).
This slide defines a credit report as a detailed record of credit history, maintained by Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion. It lists contents like personal info, credit accounts, inquiries, and public records, distinguishing it from a credit score.
