Schufa Explained: How to Improve Your Credit Score and Financial Health in Germany

Описание: The abbreviation Schufa stands for “ protection association for general loan security ”. And whenever someone talks about Schufa score, Schufa information or Schufa ratings, he or she means the same thing: your credit rating, also known as creditworthiness.
The SCHUFA creditworthiness check and the SCHUFA creditworthiness information are always chargeable . According to Art. 15 DS-GVO (General Data Protection Regulation), however, consumers can request a free SCHUFA self-assessment.

It's important to note that Schufa can only collect data with our consent. When we sign up for a new service or take out a loan, we usually sign a consent form that allows the company to share our payment data with Schufa. However, we have the right to revoke this consent at any time.
