11 What Else can hurt your Score? Collections, bankruptcies, judgments, etc. Too many credit cards Transferring balances Closing credit cards High number of consumer finance company cards

12 FICO Myth or Fact? You will not hurt your score by checking your own credit report. If one late payment occurs, higher FICO scores will drop further than lower FICO scores will. You have to pay interest and revolve a credit card balance to have a chance at getting the best possible credit score. If you disagree with an item, adding a written dispute statement to your credit report can help your score. Your closed accounts should read closed by consumer – not closed by lender – or they will hurt you. Credit counseling is as bad as bankruptcy for your score. Paying off old bad debt can hurt your FICO score.
