Savvy Money Credit Score makes its best effort to show you the most relevant information from your credit report. If you think that some of the information is wrong or inaccurate, we encourage you to take advantage of obtaining free credit reports from www.annualcreditreport.com, and then pursuing with each bureau individually. Each bureau has its own process for correcting inaccurate information, but every user can “File a Dispute” by clicking on the “Dispute” link within their Savvy Money Credit Score Credit Report. However, The Federal Trade Commission website offers step-by-step instructions on how to contact the bureaus and correct errors.

Credit scores are determined by three major credit-reporting bureaus—Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion—using two primary scoring models: FICO and VantageScore. Financial institutions may rely on different bureaus and even use their own scoring models to assess creditworthiness. With over 200 factors influencing a credit score, each model weighs these elements differently, meaning no two scoring systems are exactly the same. However, regardless of the model used, credit scores typically fall into these general ranges:
-
Excellent: 781–850
-
Good: 661–780
-
Fair: 601–660
-
Unfavorable: 501–600
-
Bad: Below 500
Understanding your credit score and how it’s calculated can help you make informed financial decisions and improve your overall financial health.
