An introduction to the credit report and the negative effects on the economy


Everyone has a credit report. This credit report is required to carry out financial transactions. It helps lenders decide whether they should give loans to individuals who are looking for credit.

The information that is included in these reports can affect people’s ability to secure loans, which can result in them being unable to buy homes or cars which might be important for their dreams of living independently later on in life.


What is a Credit Report?

A credit report is a record of information that a credit provider, such as a bank or credit card company, has on a person's ability to pay back debts.


Credit reports are used by lenders to assess whether they should provide someone with an amount of money they may borrow. They include payment histories, account balances and information about the person's outstanding debt.



How Does a Credit Score Work?

A credit score is a three-digit number calculated from your credit report. It combines information such as how much money you owe, how often you borrow and what type of credit accounts you have. Credit scores range from 300 to 850 and while some lenders may consider an individual with a high number to be risky, others may offer more favorable terms for individuals with lower numbers. The higher the score, the better it is for your financial future as long as there aren't any major mistakes on your report like late payments or missed payments.


Who Should Get a Credit Score & How Can You Improve Your Score?
