Credit Snapshot

Assess your relationship with credit

Your relationship with credit matters...

Based on your credit report, credit agencies and lenders calculate a credit score: a number between 300 and 900 that is used as an indicator of your credit worthiness

Obviously whether or not you pay your debt back as agreed impacts your credit score, but there are other factors that can negatively affect your rating that you may not be aware of

  • Living in a state of maxed out credit. The Financial Consumer Agency of Canada recommends not using more than about 35% of your overall credit available on a consistent basis

  • Having more credit than you need. Lenders like to lend money to those who can live within their means and don’t depend on an increasing use of credit to stay afloat

  • The type of credit you hold. Having a credit history with more than one type of credit (e.g., line of credit, installement loan) improves your credit score
