I want to protect my identity

Just curious

3 free credit scores

(Click the button above to see your credit scores for free)

such as which score would be better:

500

700

850 is the best, that is if you actually use credit.

But it takes more than just a high number to get a loan. If you have a 800, but the biggest amount you have ever borrowed is $400, than you will have trouble borrowing money for a house costing$250,000 with only $5.000 down.

How do I find out my credit score (I would like to buy a house soon)?

    The higher the better. Tops is around 800, so 500 wouldn’t be able to get a loan very easily.

    Higher number is the better number… The average is around 650 – 700

    The higher the better. A credit score of 500 is very poor and a person with that type of credit score would not be able to get a loan. A credit score of 700 is about average and a person could most likely get some sort of loan with that score.
