SCORECARDS
credit reports

5. The score summary, Equifax/Beacon, is above the applicants credit and trade information and is the overall rating of the applicant's credit. Up to four factors are disclosed and are displayed in order based on their relative impact on the final score. Generally scores exceeding 625 are considered by banks as worthy of loans. The lowest scores are in the low 400's and the highest scores close to 850 (Very few). Scores between 600 and 700 are very common and considered very good. Most tenant applicants will fall between 550 and 650 credit scores. Scores below 575 are considered a risk, and usually warrant further documentation or higher security deposits if the landlord proceeds. (Note: No Hit means that the consumer has no credit history whatsoever and nobody has even inquired upon their credit history)

Scorecard: BEACON 96
Score: 676
Reasons: Serious delinquency, and public record or collection filed
