PAYMENT HISTORY IMPORTANCE ON YOUR CREDIT SCORE

Building a perfect credit score should be what we all aim for, giving the fact that a good credit history will help us secure loans such as: mortgages, car loans, credit card, student loans etc.

The most important part in building your credit history is the PAYMENT HISTORY. This counts for 35% of your Beacon score.

The credit agency( such as Equifax, Transunion etc) look for it are:
-account payment information
-presence of adverse public records or collection records
-severity of deliqunecy
-number of past due items
-date of recent collection, public records and past due
-amount past due on deliquent or collection amounts

Basically, the most important thing is to pay all your trade lines, in full, and before the due date.
