Credit Score Risk Factors (continue)
Credit Utilization
The amount the borrower owes on all accounts is evaluated, taking into consideration the following factors:
The balance on each account.
The number of accounts with balances.
Each balance in relation to the amount originally owed.
The relationship of the account balance to the total available credit line.
Recent Attempts to Obtain New Credit
While evaluating the attempts to obtain new credit, the number of new accounts, the length of time since an account was opened, the number of recent inquires, and the length of time since the inquiries were made must be considered.
Credit Score Reason Codes
Credit scores are usually accompanied by reason codes identifying various risk factors affecting the borrower's credit score. The use of reason codes aids in the evaluation of a borrower's credit history.
