Most lenders use the FICO score to determine whether they should extend to you a mortgage, car loan, credit cards and any other type of credit. The higher your score, the more credit worthy you are. Lenders will know that more than likely, you pay your bills on time. The lower your score, the more risk the lender takes on, guessing that you might not pay the loan on time.
The FICO score ranges from 300 to 850. More than likely, youll end up paying a larger monthly payment on your mortgage if your score is below 650. Your credit score, according to MyFico.com, is determined by:
Payment history-35%
Amounts owed-30%
Length of credit history-15%
New credit-10%
And types of credit in use-10%

Since payment history is 35% of your score, you want to make sure you dont have a history of late payments on your credit report. The longer your credit history, the better. Having too many new credit accounts open can affect your score negatively.
The bottom line is that a higher FICO score means you are more credit worthy to potential lenders. The lower your score, the greater a risk you are to lenders and therefore, your monthly payments might be higher.
