What You Need to Know About Your Credit
Getting a loan can be a nerve-racking experience if you don’t know where you stand with your credit. Here are some key points about credit reports and scores and the role credit plays in the loan approval process.

What is a Credit Report?
Why is Credit Reported?
What is a Credit Score?
How is a Credit Score Determined?


What is a Credit Report?
Credit reports are issued by consumer credit reporting agencies. These reports disclose your credit accounts (credit cards, department store cards) and your payment history (if you have paid these accounts on time), outstanding debts (mortgage loans, auto loans), liens and judgments of public record, such as bankruptcy and foreclosure.

Once you authorize Nationstar Mortgage to obtain your credit report, your Loan Officer will be available to review it with you line-by-line.

Why is Credit Reported?
Your credit history gives lenders an idea of your ability to pay back a new loan or credit card. Credit histories provide information related to how many times certain bills have been paid on time vs. how many times bills may have been paid late. In addition, credit histories provide information related to maximum balances over time, as well as current balances. At Nationstar Mortgage, your credit history helps us to better understand the types of loans you might qualify for (including special products) based on your credit score.

What is a Credit Score?
Your credit score is used to assess how likely you are to pay back a loan. Your credit bureau score is based on the data available from your credit report. The score is not intended to measure a borrower’s income or assets.

Credit scores (generally referred to as FICO scores) range from approximately 111 (no credit score) to 850 (high credit score), and are available through the three national credit repositories (Equifax, Trans Union and Experian). FICO stands for Fair Isaac Company.

How is a Credit Score Determined?
Your credit score is determined by the credit data contained within your credit report. Both payment history and the amount you owe on each credit card or loan you currently have impact your credit score.

Payment History
Includes items such as how you have paid existing and previous credit accounts, the existence of bankruptcies or foreclosures in your recent past, as well as the total amounts past due overall.

Amount Owed
Your Amount Owed relates to the outstanding balances on specific accounts, as well as the total number of accounts you currently have.
