Frequently Asked Questions

What is Credit?

Credit is the ability to borrow money or access goods or services with the understanding that you'll pay later. We use credit to buy lots of things, from houses and cars to groceries and clothing. If you use it responsibly, credit can be a useful tool.

What is a credit score?

A credit score is a number between 300–850 that depicts a consumer's creditworthiness. The higher the score, the better a borrower looks to potential lenders. A credit score is based on credit history: number of open accounts, total levels of debt, and repayment history, and other factors. Lenders use credit scores to evaluate the probability that an individual will repay loans in a timely manner. There are a few different types of scores, but the two best-known are your FICO Score and your VantageScore. They’re calculated based on the information that shows up on your credit report.

What is a good credit score?

Generally speaking, there are five tiers of credit score. A good credit score is anything above 670.

What is a bad credit score?

Anything below 670 is considered poor or only fair credit.

What actions hurt your credit?

The following actions can hurt your credit:

• Not paying bills on time
• Filing for bankruptcy or foreclosure
• Applying for too many credit accounts
• Carrying high balances on your credit cards
• Ignoring questionable negative items on your report

What is a FICO® Score?

Your FICO® Score is a three-digit number determined by the information on your credit report. While FICO® doesn't collect the data themselves, it's their algorithm that determines your score. Considering their score is used in 90% of all lending decisions, it's very helpful to know where you stand.

What is credit repair?

Credit repair is the process of addressing any questionable negative items that could be hurting your credit profile. If the bureaus and your creditors can’t verify these items are fair and accurate, they are required to remove them.

Can my credit be repaired?

iAM FINANCIALLY POISED, LLC can’t guarantee anything. But we can promise to help you work to address any unfair or inaccurate negative items hurting your credit profile.

Can I repair my credit on my own?

What is a negative item?

Anything in your credit history that could lower your score is a negative item. Things like collections, late payments, charge-offs, liens, bankruptcies, repossessions and more.
