See how different actions and scenarios could impact your credit score. This is an educational heuristic, not a FICO or lender scoring model. Action effects are illustrative; actual scores can move differently. With no actions selected, your entered score stays unchanged.
Start with a credit score you supply, describe your current credit situation, and select actions to explore. The payment history, utilization, inquiry, and negative-item fields provide context, but they do not independently change the projected score. Those factors are already reflected in the starting score you enter.
The simulator adds preset illustrative point values for your selected actions to the starting score, then keeps the result within the displayed score range. Selecting no actions leaves your entered score unchanged. Combining actions adds their preset values; it does not model how real scoring factors interact or how a bureau would recalculate your file.
Results are estimates, not actual FICO calculations, and real scores depend on the whole report. Different scoring models and updated account information can produce different outcomes. The displayed change is an educational scenario, not a promised increase, a prediction of timing, or evidence that an item can be removed.
No. This simulation uses your entries and selected actions; it does not retrieve or verify a bureau report.
No. Checking a box only changes the illustration. It does not open an account, make a payment, or submit a dispute.
No. Review reports for specific inaccuracies. Accurate negative information is not automatically removable simply because it affects a score.
