 TITLE: Why Do My Credit Scores Differ Across the Credit Bureaus? CONTENT: Practice Good Credit Habits to Improve Your Scores\n--------------------------------------------------\nWhile you have many different credit scores, they all have one thing in common: They're based on information in your credit reports. As long as your credit reports show responsible borrowing behavior, you are positioning yourself to earn and maintain good credit scores, regardless of the type of score, the date or the credit bureau report from which it is calculated.\nBy performing well in the credit scoring categories mentioned above, you will always have good credit scores. This means making all your debt payments on time, maintaining low credit card balances and applying for credit only when needed. The other two credit scoring categories—the age of your credit accounts and your account diversity—will improve over time as your credit reports age and become more populated with different types of credit experiences.\nOne final method of improving your credit scores is to add positive information to your credit reports. You can do this with Experian Boost™† , a free service that allows you to add phone, utility and streaming service accounts to your Experian credit report. By doing this you can improve your FICO® 8 and VantageScore 3 and 4 credit scores based on your Experian credit report. END
