Everything You Need to Know About
Credit
Lenders make credit granting
decisions (loans) based on both ability to repay a
debt (income) and willingness (the credit report) as indicated in the
past (payment history)
In the United States, when a
person fills out an application for credit from a local bank,
department store or credit card company, their personal and financial
information is forwarded to one or all of the credit bureaus. The
credit bureau matches the name, address and other identifying
information on the credit application with information contained by
that bureau in its files.
That's why it's very important for creditors, lenders and companies
with access, to provide true and accurate informational data to the
credit bureaus they use.
This information is used by lenders such as credit card companies to
determine an individual's credit worthiness; that is, determining an
individual's willingness to repay a debt. The willingness to repay a
debt is indicated by how timely past payments have been made to other
lenders. Lenders like to see consumer debt obligations paid on a
monthly basis. (Source: Wikipedia)
