I recently read an article about the quest for the perfect credit score.
"As for what makes an 800-plus score, these self-made experts basically say the same thing FICO does: Payment history is the single most important factor".
FICO, the Minneapolis company that produces the scoring model, divulges the five factors that determine your magic number — your payment history, the amount you owe on credit lines and loans, the length of your credit history, how much new credit you've applied for, and the types of accounts you've had — plus what percentage of your score each factor represents".
