What’s Your FICO Score?

Why do we have it and why is it so important? 

You want to get a credit card.  Maybe you want to buy a car or even a home.  Before you can… you have to apply for the card or a loan.  Those financial institutions are looking at your credit, including something called your FICO score.  What is it?  Why do we have it and why is it so important?  We have consumer information tonight and experts to break it all down.
