Credit Accounts : You have 5 account(s) listed in your credit report.
This is making your score higher. Having accounts is a positive factor because it gives lenders information to evaluate how you pay your bills. However, having too many accounts is usually considered a negative factor because lenders worry that you are spending (or preparing to spend) beyond your means, even if you have not missed payments in the past. Also, if you do not have credit (a negative factor), obtaining your first credit cards may be difficult, and it may involve high fees and interest rates, as well as low credit lines. Note, finance trades (debt consolidation accounts with high interest rates) are considered a negative factor, because they are often associated with troubled credit histories.

Payment History : Last reported month, you did not miss a payment on any revolving account.
This only includes accounts updated in the past 3 months.
This is making your score higher. Missing payments is a negative factor. Some cases are worse than others. For example, if you have not missed any payments recently, lenders may think you have become responsible and will no longer miss payments. Also, missing payments on only a few accounts is not as harmful as missing payments on most or all of your accounts, because lenders realize that many people miss a payment (or pay late) once in a while. Also, missing a single payment is not as harmful as missing several consecutive payments because many lenders consider missing 3 or more consecutive payments as an indication that you may never repay them. Finally, it is not as harmful to miss payments on accounts with low balances rather than high ones because lenders stand to lose less money on low balances if they remain unpaid.

Credit Usage : You are not using any revolving accounts at more than 70% of their credit limit.
This only includes your open accounts for which the credit limit/loan amount is available.
This is making your score higher. High usage (balances above 50% of the credit line) are usually considered negative, because lenders worry that you may be using more credit than you can reasonably afford to repay. Being "maxed out" on a credit card (when your balance is close to or above the assigned limit) is especially negative. The more accounts in this situation, the more it impacts your score. Note that in some cases, such as very high credit scores, as little as 20% usage may have a negative impact, although minor. On the other hand, low usage is usually considered positive because it provides lenders with information on how you use credit, and because it shows that you do not need to use all of the credit available to you.
