If you are new to credit, you may not have a score until you have an account reporting to the bureaus for several months. Building a positive payment history is the first step, and Kikoff can help you start.
The most reliable steps are to pay every bill on time, keep your credit utilization low (generally under 30%, and under 10% is even better), keep older accounts open, and avoid applying for too much new credit at once. Kikoff also offers credit-building tools that report your payments to the major bureaus to help you build a positive history.
It is normal to have more than one credit score. Lenders and services use different scoring models, pull from different bureaus, and update on different dates, so the same person can see different numbers in different places.
Scores move as your creditors send updates to your credit report. Common reasons for a drop include a late or missed payment, higher credit utilization, a closed account, or a new hard inquiry. Small fluctuations month to month are normal.
Five main factors shape most credit scores: your payment history, your credit utilization (how much of your available credit you are using), the length of your credit history, your mix of credit types, and how much new credit you have recently applied for. Payment history and utilization tend to carry the most weight.
Score ranges vary by model, but in general a score in the mid-600s or higher is considered good, and scores above about 740 are considered very good to excellent. The higher your score, the more likely you are to qualify for credit and better rates.
Your score can change any time new information reaches your credit report, such as a new payment, a balance change, or a new account. Checking regularly helps you track your progress and spot changes early.
You will see a real credit score based on the information in your credit report, not an estimate. Keep in mind that lenders use many different scoring models, so the exact number can vary depending on which model and which bureau a lender uses.

A credit score is a three-digit number, usually from 300 to 850, that lenders use to gauge how likely you are to repay borrowed money. It is calculated from the information in your credit report, including your payment history, how much credit you are using, the length of your credit history, your mix of accounts, and recent applications for new credit.
