Credit rating.
35% Payment history Late payments on bills, such as amortgage, credit card or automobile loan, can cause a FICO score todrop. Paying bills on time will improve your FICO score.
30% Credit utilization The ratio of current revolving debt (suchas credit card balances) to the total available revolving credit orcredit limit. You can improve your FICO scores by paying off debtand lowering the credit utilization ratio. Alternatively, applying forand receiving the credit limit increase will also drive down theutilization ratio. Closing of existing revolving accounts will typicallyadversely affect this ratio and therefore have a negative impact on
their FICO score.
15% Length of credit history As your credit history ages it canhave a positive impact on their FICO score.[6]

10% Types of credit used (installment, revolving, consumerfinance, mortgage) You can benefit by having a history ofmanaging different types of credit.[7]
10% Recent search for credit Credit inquiries, which occurwhen you are seeking new credit, can hurt your score. Individualsshopping for a mortgage or auto loan over a short period will likelynot experience a decrease in their scores as a result of these typesof inquiries, however.[8] While all credit inquiries are recorded anddisplayed on your credit report for a period of time, credit inquiriesthat were made yourself (to check your credit), by your employer(for employee verification) or by companies initiating prescreened
offers of credit or insurance do not have any impact on your creditscore

SCORES.
The FICO score ranges form low of 350 to 850,lower the score the more likely that borrowerwill not manage the new credit well.
The rating is divided into 3 partsPrime :- These are someone to whom lenders are eager
to do business..
Alt A :- These have good credit history but with
something not quite right. Eg) An investor or borrowerwhose income has not been documented and verifiedmay classify as Alt - A
Sub Prime :- These have a blemished credit history.

Default credit rating system
The person whose score has less than 620 is
considered as Sub-Prime and average score is
near about 700.
But during that period a score of 650 is
considered as good score for lending because
it fetch higher interest rates.

and that money is used proceeds further loan. Government regulators like because it seems
that risk was spread broadly.
But the main problem was they were notassessing the lending side riskthey just gotcarried away in volumes
