Hi there. Thank you for reaching out to us. We understand the concern with your score. Credit scores can change as information on your credit report is updated. If the information is accurate on your credit report, the score will be accurate. The primary factors that determine a person’s FICO® credit score is:  35% based on payment history   30% based on amount of credit utilization   15% based on the length of your credit history   10% based on hard credit inquiries   10% based on types of credit (revolving, installment, etc.)    There are several tools and calculators in your membership that may be useful (credit score illustrator and our AI chatbot Eva). You can also find several helpful articles in our Help Center on the Experian® website for further education about credit reports, scores, and bureaus. -Moneake

A10. Prepare for the unexpected because it WILL happen. Credit cards are perfect for emergencies – like when the friend who drove you hours from home decides they want to take off on their own adventure and leave you stranded in an unfamiliar city. Ah, Spring Break 🏖️ #CreditChat

A9. I'd honestly recommend something like pre-paid debit cards for Spring Break. That way, once you're out, you're out. And if you end up needing to use a credit card to fill in the gaps, then you know you need to be careful because you're already over budget. #CreditChat

A8. Spring Break is NOT the time to start building good money habits. That's just asking the universe to throw you a curve ball. Focus on not overspending, avoid using your credit card at all if you can, and attack that budget when you get back to campus. #CreditChat

A7. Carrying a balance is so tricky because you're tempted to only make the minimum payment. Nothing wrong with that, right? Wrong! You're paying loads in interest & if you keep using your card as usual, you're on your way to maxing it out. Ask how I know 🥲 #CreditChat

A6. Calculate all or most of your bills beforehand & give yourself an allowance. If rent, books & groceries cost $800 this month & you get paid $1,000, then you have $200 of spending money. Anything over that & you know you're eating into your bill money. #CreditChat

A5. Make them pay you BEFORE you book anything on your credit card. Nothing gets booked until everyone's paid. If you've already booked & are waiting on that payback, it's time to have a tough convo. Don't let your credit suffer because of someone else's carelessness! #CreditChat

A4. It's soooo easy to overspend during Spring Break. Which is why creating a budget beforehand is so important. Because overspending leads to higher credit utilization, higher payments, and a smaller safety net. #CreditChat

A3. Reach out to your parents/support system if you can! I got stranded in Austin once during SXSW & had no idea what to do! I had no credit card, no extra cash & was hours from home. My mom had to wire me money & I had to walk to the nearest Western Union 😮‍💨 #CreditChat

A2. When you're in college, your credit card should really only be for emergencies. With everything going on in your life, it's hard to do the boring stuff like budgeting. There are rules to using credit and Spring Break isn't the best time for memory retention 😅 #CreditChat

A1. You need to give yourself a budget! Set a spending limit & – I can't emphasize this enough – stick to it! Write out everything you're doing & budget each category. Then tally up all your expenses at the end of the day to stay on track. It's annoying but worth it. #CreditChat

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out to us. Credit scores are calculated based on the information in your credit report. Please note that credit scores can vary depending on the scoring model used (examples: FICO® or VantageScore®). Additionally, credit scores can vary based on which credit reporting agency supplied the report.  The score is based on your report and creditors are not required to report to all credit bureaus. The three major consumer credit reporting agencies in the U.S. are Experian®, TransUnion® and Equifax®. Experian memberships utilize Experian credit reports and the FICO® Score 8 model.  The primary factors that determine a person’s FICO® credit score are:  35% based on payment history  30% based on amount of credit utilization  15% based on the length of your credit history  10% based on hard credit inquiries  10% based on types of credit (revolving, installment, etc.)  You may learn more about credit at experian.com/blogs/ask-expe…  Thanks. -Karen

What the hell is this @IDFCFIRSTBank after paying all EMIs on time and closed loan on time and it shows settlement in credit bureau. How loan will considered as settlement as paid regular EMIs and fully paid loans. @Experian @Equifax
