Credit Scores
Credit scores determine if someone gets approved or declined on any type of credit.
In commercial terms, credit scores are defined as numerical expression based on a statistical analysis of a person’s credit files, generated by a mathematical algorithm.
To be more precise, credit scores are determined on the basis of the certain amount of credit a person has taken.
His credit statements are compared with the accounts of other people applying for credit to the same financial body.
Bankers and credit card companies are termed as lenders who use credit scores to evaluate the potential risk while lending money to the consumers and to alleviate losses due to bad debt.
Credit scores are being used by the lenders to determine who qualifies for a loan and who does not, at what interest rate, and what credit limits they could lend the money to the person and in what time and what interest they could get their refund back.
There are lenders who sometimes build or create regression models that predict the amount of bad debt a customer may incur.
But it is really difficult and hard to predict about the debt return still it is done to have an idea in the future if this person is a high risk or worthy of future credits.
Lenders usually look for higher number as we have seen that people with highest score get the lowest rate of interest.
Different countries use different techniques to make credit scores and similarity is found between Canada and USA. But the system is said to be better in Australia.

Credit Scorecards
Credit scorecards are created with the help of statistics. First, all past loan applications of interested consumers are collected.
Categories.
The first one deals with the people who repaid their loans in due time without much hassle.
The second one deals with those of the defaulted.
It is mandatory to compare the first group with the second one to prepare an appropriate scorecard.
Credit scorecards provide a accurate measurement of the likelihood that a customer will repay the credit amount back in the allowed amount of time.
Logit or probit are estimation techniques which are statistically used to predict the probability of default of new clients based on this historical data base.
The default probabilities are then compared to a “credit score”. This score will rank the potential client by their height of risk without explicitly identifying their probability of default.
It is to be noted that the procedure of credit scoring was not always fit enough and it did have drawbacks. Then newer and improved techniques were applied to maintain this method of comparing credits.
These measures are: hazard rate modeling, reduced form credit models, or logistic regression.
The essential differences from credit scoring involve both the data base and the ability to calculate the financial value of a loan, given its risk from a credit perspective.
The data base includes all of the available observations on both defaulted and non-defaulted clients. This makes it much easier to see the effects of macro-economic factors like stock prices, auto prices, interest rates, and home values on the default

Credit Reference
Credit is granted when an organization or an individual makes money enough to give its customers some of it to borrow. There are mainly two kinds of credit-
a) Home loans, or mortgages, and personal or shop loans are linked to a specific item or items and
b) Revolving credit on payment cards can give an individual access to a fixed amount of money that he or she can spend as he or she wishes, in a wide range of retailers and other outlets.
Credit reference can also be referred to as credit history. It is handy information, which holds the creditors personal information, be it of a person or an institution or an organization.
It provides dealers an account of credit applicants’ past credential dealings in order to make a more accurate decision.
Credit rating agencies essentially play this role in while working with consumer credit. Potential lenders, that is individuals or organizations or institutions that are interested in investing their money, consult with established credit rating about appropriate applicants.
These initial talks are necessary for it decides whether the said person, organization or institution is reliable enough to be granted credits.
Credit references helps to assess whether if an applicant’s credit history indicates proper, timely payments on all outstanding obligations.
A lender would be able to judge all by himself whether that the applicant will make timely payments on the requested loan or not.
Credit references also indicate the applicant’s bank account, what type of account it is,
