The model most commonly used as a basis to compute credit scores was developed by Fair Isaac Corporation (known as FICO score).
Credit score is calculated by giving weightage to various types of information appearing on your report;
Payment History - 35%:
Amounts Owed - 30%:
Length of Credit History - 15%:
New Credit - 10%
Types of Credit Used - 10%
