By comparing this information to the patterns in thousands of past credit reports, credit grading identifies your level of credit risk. Your grade tells a lender how likely you are to repay a loan, or make credit payments on time. Having an A grade, the better chance you have of getting the credit you apply for.

Credit grading generally looks at how late your payments were, how much was owed, how recently, and how often you missed a payment.
