Credit refers to borrowing money that must be repaid with interest. There are two main types of debt: secured debt, which is tied to a purchased item like a home or car, and unsecured debt like credit cards. Credit reports contain personal information and payment history for credit accounts, public records, and credit inquiries. Maintaining a good credit score involves paying bills on time each month and keeping credit utilization low.
Understanding your credit score and what factors impact that score are crucial tools for building a healthy credit rating.
Your credit score determines how much you will pay in interest rates to borrow money or even whether you will even get financing in the first place. Credit reports are also used to decide whether to provide you with insurance, housing, and utilities. Even many employment decisions are based on your creditworthiness.
A higher credit score makes you a lower risk to lenders, which, in turn, means you are more likely to get credit or insuranceor pay less for it. It also means you are more likely to get that dream job you worked so hard to achieve.
