I am new to this whole credit thing. So I have a couple of questions.
1. I have a about 13 or 14 inquires on my credit report because I had to apply for school loans and credit cards. I was able to get 3 small loans and two credit cards. How will this effect my score?
2. I paid my credit cards balances in full for nearly 5 months, but one month i could only pay the minimum payment will this hurt my score?
3. My credit scores are 689, 698, 715 is this good or bad?
4. I have a couple months left until next school year, and i will have to apply for more loans, (pharmacy student) will i have better luck now that i have some credit history?
5. I know this is a lot but i would really appreciate the help. And I would appreciate any tips on credit, credit scores, and getting the best score possible.
Note: I have been very responsible with my credit cards except one month when i could only make the minimum. So please no lectures on the evils of credit cards
