Several factors can affect your credit score calculation, such as:

• How long ago your file and accounts were opened
• Available credit usage rate
• Your total debt burden
• Number and duration of late payments
• Bankruptcies and consumer proposals

TransUnion's credit score simulator lets you see how a change to your borrowing file can affect your credit rating. Use it on AccèsD to plan your projects and make financial decisions tailored to your needs. The simulator is for information purposes only. The simulated score may be different from the one you actually get from a credit bureau. Using the simulator has no effect on your score.

We need your authorization before we can share your personal information with TransUnion and Equifax. We use this information to link your credit report with your AccèsD account.
