chosen.content: Credit companies may base a person's credit score on numerous factors, including payment history, credit utilization, credit mix, and length of credit history. Unfortunately, some of these factors are easily abused and can lead to an increased credit risk. Excessive application for credit, over-the-limit charges, late payments, and unpaid debt can all have a severe negative effect on an individual's credit score. By being vigilant, consumers can safeguard their credit score and protect themselves against any abusive practices.

rejected.content: Credit companies take into account several factors when calculating credit scores, such as payment history, amounts owed, credit card utilization rate, length of credit history, new credit applications, and type of credit used. Any of these factors could potentially be abused by individuals to improve their credit score, such as maxing out multiple credit cards to raise their credit card utilization rate or making small payments on multiple accounts to build their length of credit history.
