Capacity and Amount Owed: The percentage of credit limit available accounts for 30% of your credit score. You want to always make sure you keep your credit utilization rate below 30% at all times! This is paramount because as soon as you go over 30% then it will hit your credit score hard! For example, If you have a $1,000 unsecure credit card then you don't never ever want to go over $300. That's your new limit. If you do go over $300 at the end of the month then it will affect your score negatively.

New Credit: Accounts for 10% of your credit score. New credit is basically the number of inquires on your credit report and new accounts opened in the last 12 to 18 months. You don't want to have too many credit inquires a year. This is not good from the perspective of a company you are trying to get a loan from and this will hurt your credit score if you have too many new inquires.

Type of Credit Used: This is an important sector of your credit score which accounts for 10%. There are a certain number of inquires and installment loans banks want to see when you apply for new credit. If you go over this number then this will affect your score negatively.
