Having a long history of paying your loans, bills and credit cards on time means you’re more likely to have a high credit score. Missing payments or defaulting on loans, borrowing and bills is likely to result in a lower score. When you apply for a loan or credit card, the financial institution will look at your credit score to see how risky the deal would be for them. They use this information to help decide whether to offer you credit, and if so, what kind of interest rate and terms you'll receive.
