 TITLE: Does the Type of Credit Score Matter? CONTENT: What Is a Credit Score?\n-----------------------\nA credit score is a three-digit number usually ranging from 300 to 850 that lenders use to predict your credit risk. A credit score takes into account the information appearing on your credit reports as maintained by the three national credit reporting agencies (Experian, TransUnion and Equifax). Information that is not on your credit reports is not considered by credit scoring models. END
