Information About Credit History and SCORE Rating
What is a credit history? Credit history shows how you have fulfilled and continue to fulfill all your financial and credit obligations. Your credit history includes only data from the last 5 years from the date of the credit history inquiry (received loans - their quantity and amount, type and terms of each loan, repayment performance, guarantees provided to other people, presence of overdue loans, as well as associated fines and penalties). Example: If an inquiry about your credit history is made in July 2024, your credit history will reflect information only from July 2019 onwards. We also inform you that receiving a credit report from ACRA Credit Bureau once a year is free of charge. You can obtain your credit report online from the ACRA Credit Bureau website (www.acra.am) once a year and check your credit behavior. If you notice any errors, contact the lending organization to correct them. 

 What is a SCORE? 

The score is a customer creditworthiness rating formed in the scoring system, which is obtained through the analysis of various available information about the customer and the application of statistical methods. Based on the score rating, the possible credit limit, term, and other conditions for a specific type of loan can be determined. 

Arfin UCO LLC uses the ACRA SP3 complete report in the lending process, through which customer data is collected and analyzed, as well as information from various available information sources such as ACRA Credit Bureau, EKENG, NORK, and other databases is analyzed. Internal analysis algorithms are based on several key parameters, including the customer's credit history and financial behavior, credit load, income, and other factors. 

To improve the SCORE rating, the borrower can: 

  • Pay off or reduce the number/amount of overdue loans
  • Avoid generating overdue obligations even for one day in the future
  • Reduce the number and amount of provided guarantees
  • Ensure complete repayment of overdue amounts for provided guarantees
  • Reduce the number and balances of existing loans by partially or fully repaying them
