Credit Score Good Fair Poor

Question: Why is my score "fair' and not "good'?
I understand the credit rating chart goes like this:
350-619 poor
620-659 fair
660-749 good
750-850 excellent
I joined USAA's credit monitoring, and it says my score is 663,but it still says my rating is 'fair'. I hae tried Experian's website but there is no place to ask this question. I have applied for a credit card and been turned down, so I am not sure if USAA is wrong or what.
Does anyone ae any insight?
Thanks in advance! I will try to give a best answer for 10 points to someone!
Answer: Your credit rating will be reduced if you have at any time in the last few (5 I believe, but not 100% sure) years defaulted on any loans, or credit card repayments. You will probably also find that if you have not had a credit card or a loan for very long, you will not get a top credit rating. Put simply, anyone who hasn't previously had a credit agreement will not have any history of how they tend to manage their repayments, so its not possible to say whether they are high or low risk. So they tend to be more "middle of the road" which is where you are.

Credit Score Needed For Mortgage Loan

Question: Will my poor Credit Score have any impact when I buy a home for Cash? I won't need a mortgage loan.?
Answer: Your Credit Score only affects you ability to borrow money. The person you buy the home from never knows your FICO Score anyway.
Note to PUB: If LJRobbie has CASH to buy a home, the problem with her credit is probably NOT bad credit. More likely it it is complete lack of credit resulting from never borrowing money. PS. that is a GOOD thing.
