Credit
scores are being used for everything these days, including
mortgages, credit cards, insurance, and even employment decisions.
Your credit score can be the number one thing that causes a credit
company to say "yes" or "no" to your credit
application. Along with the credit report, lenders also review
your credit score which is based on the information in your credit
report. While a credit report can be considered your detailed
financial history, a credit score is an objective summary of that
information. It is also important to know what your score is.

is the National Score index?
As

Score, the Experian National Score Index
is designed to give consumers a better understanding of how their
credit compares to that of other U.S. consumers. In addition, as
the economic environment changes, the Experian National
Score Index will offer insight into the changes in
consumer financial behavior on a national, regional, state, and
area level.
