Credit scores demystified — what actually moves the number

Posted by Ben Okafor

Payment history is 35% of your score. Utilization is 30%. Keep cards under 10% utilization not 30%. Length of history means don't close old cards. New accounts temporarily lower it. Types of credit matter but chase the first three not the last two. One late payment can undo years of good behavior.
