A fico score summarizes your credit reports from three agencies; Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, and is then averaged into one score. Your fico score depends on what financial choices are made, and how stable the payments on the financial choices are. Most scores are between 300 and 850, with 850 being the best credit score.
