Hello All Members,
What does my credit report have to do with my credit score?
Please give me some comments about my question.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there- your credit score and your credit report are two separate things, but they certainly go hand in hand. Your credit score, commonly known as the FICO score, is an actual number based off of your payment history, amounts owed, length of credit, new credit and types of credit.
Your credit report on the other hand will show your credit history- for example what types of accounts you have had over the years, if you have any foreclosures, repossessions or evictions along with many other things.
I hope that gives you some clarification betwee the two.

i also had the same question. Because i want to purchase a new card, just to take some help to clear out my debt. Is it advisable?

What exactly are you asking? I am not sure I understand the question. Feel free to clarify so I can perhaps give you some additional insight.
