18 There are many credit myths so let s take the Credit Quiz Freddie Mac 18
19 Discussion Question 1 1. Which Act gives all Americans the right to request a free copy of his or her credit report annually? a) Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) b) Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) c) Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT Act) d) Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) Freddie Mac 19
20 Discussion Question 1 1. Which Act gives all Americans the right to request a free copy of his or her credit report annually? a) Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA) b) Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) c) Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACT Act) d) Fair Debt Collection Practices Act Freddie Mac 20
21 Why? The Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction (FACT) Act of 2003 gives all Americans the right to request a free copy of his or her credit report annually from each of the three main credit-reporting bureaus via Web, phone, fax or mail. Those bureaus are TransUnion, Experian, and Equifax. Because creditors may report information to only one of the three main bureaus, each report may include different information. Be sure to check all three reports for outdated data or inaccuracies. Freddie Mac 21
22 Discussion Question 2 2. My credit score takes a hit every time it s checked? a. True b. False Freddie Mac 22
23 Discussion Question 2 2. My credit score takes a hit every time it s checked? a. True b. False Freddie Mac 23
24 Why? Credit Report pulls are classified as either hard or soft. Hard pulls have a negative impact on the score. These are pulls generated through an inquiry for a retail credit card or a lender application for loan approval. Soft pulls have no impact on the credit score. Soft pulls are from inquires that are initiated by the consumer. Checking your own credit score, has no impact on your credit score. Freddie Mac 24
25 Discussion Question 3 3. You can include a 100-word statement on your credit report. a) True b) False Freddie Mac 25
26 Discussion Question 3 3. You can include a 100-word statement on your credit report. a) True b) False Freddie Mac 26
27 Why? Why? Consumers have the right to include a brief statement on their credit report that will be viewable to anyone who accesses it. They can use the statement to indicate if they have been a victim of fraud or if they are in the process of correcting inaccurate data on their report. The statement usually remains on the report for two years unless the consumer request to have it removed sooner. Freddie Mac 27
28 So What s Contained In a Credit Report Freddie Mac 28
29 Not all formats are the same But all formats provides the same basic information. Freddie Mac 29

41 Highest Lowest Freddie Mac 41
42 Credit Scores are fluid. As information changes the score changes Freddie Mac 42
43 Where Credit Scores Overlap If you think there s just one credit score, think again. FICO credit score is the most widely used by lenders. All of the various systems for the most part use a three-digit number. Although each is calculated differently, they have a tendency to overlap. Freddie Mac 43
44 Freddie Mac 44
45 Discussion Question 4 4. What has the highest impact on your credit score. a. The type of credit in use b. The number of credit cards in my file c. My payment history d. The number of calls I receive from a credit grantor Freddie Mac 45
46 Discussion Question 4 4. What has the highest impact on your credit score. a. The type of credit in use b. The number of credit cards in my file c. My payment history d. The number of calls I receive from a credit grantor Freddie Mac 46
47 Discussion Question 4 4. What has the highest impact on your credit score. a. The type of credit in use b. The number of credit cards in my file c. My payment history - represents 35% of the score d. The number of calls I receive from a credit grantor Freddie Mac 47
48 Discussion Question 5 5. Will paying off my credit cards and closing out the account improve my credit score? a. Yes b. No Freddie Mac 48
49 Discussion Question 5 5. Will paying off my credit cards and closing out the account improve my credit score? a. Yes b. No Freddie Mac 49
50 Why? When you close a credit card with a balance, your total available credit and credit limit are reported as $0. If you still have a balance on that account with no credit limit, it looks like you ve maxed out. A maxed out credit card, or one that appears to be maxed out, can have a very negative impact on your credit score since your level of credit card debt, including your credit to credit ratio, is 30% of your credit score. Freddie Mac 50
