Credit Scores
A credit score indicates to lenders how well you manage your finances and will influence whether or not you can borrow money and what rates you are offered. Credit Score Lenders, such as banks and credit card companies, use credit scores to evaluate the potential risk posed by lending money to consumers and to mitigate losses due to bad debt. Credit scoring is not limited to banks; other organisations, such as mobile phone companies, insurance companies, landlords, and government departments employ the same techniques. For more information on how to build a good credit score go to The Citizens Advice website, which provides information about credit scoring in UK.
