A credit score is a really important indicator on how likely you will be to default on a credit card or a loan. Your credit score is determined by a number of different factors, including your payment history, the amounts of money that you owe, the length of credit history, new credit, and what types of credit you are using. Do you pay your bills on time? Do you have any recent late payments? How many times have you been late? Are your cards maxed out, or have you accrued a large amount of debt? How long have you been making use of credit, and have you managed to establish a good credit history? Are you opening new accounts and borrowing more money?
