Credit History
Credit history or your credit report score is a record of your financial transactions and your ability to pay the debt that was accrued by those transactions. If you late payments or do not choose to pay the debt back then it will lead to bad credit on you credit history. Any time you apply to obtain credit cards or bank loans the institutions will require you to fill out a credit history application. The credit history application will allow them to examine your credit history and credit report score. Depending on the items listed in your credit history your credit report score can be positively or adversely affected, thus creating a good credit report score or bad credit.
Before you are granted any loans from a bank, the bank will decide if your credit history shows a reliable credit report score. If the bank determines that you have bad credit vs. a good credit report score then most likely you will be denied for the loan because of the bad credit. But if you have good credit history then you should have a good credit report score and be much more likely to obtain your desired loan. Sometimes an individual will still qualify for a loan, but because they have bad credit, the interest rate may be higher than others who have high credit report score on their credit history. The higher the credit report score the lower the interest rate, and if you have bad credit then you will have a higher interest rate. It is important to maintain a good credit report score on your credit history, it will allow you more financial flexibility then bad credit will allow.
