How Credit Scores Actually Work (and 5 Common Myths)

What goes into a FICO score, and five myths that keep people from checking theirs.

How we work

Checked against the source

Every claim is checked against official and primary sources: government agencies, the law itself, medical bodies, and the companies that run the system. Key sources are listed under each video.

Independently fact-checked

Every script gets a separate fact-check before it's made, and anything that varies by state, model or year is said out loud.

Nothing to sell you

No product pitches and no "you should" advice. We explain how things work so you can ask better questions of the professionals who know your situation.
