11 Importance of Credit Most Americans will rely on credit at some point in their lives. It helps us to make purchases small and large, and build a reputation for being a responsible borrower. Consumer credit is an engine of growth for the economy. About three-quarters of all automobile purchases are made on credit terms, either financed or leased, and about 95 percent of home purchases involve a mortgage, another form of credit.

12 Good Credit A qualification of an individual's credit history that indicates that the borrower is a safe credit risk. A high credit score is an indicator of good credit, while a low credit score indicates bad credit. An individual's credit history is dependent on a number of factors, including the amount borrowed, the amount of available credit remaining and the timeliness of payments. Having good credit makes it easier to obtain loans, such as mortgages, and allows the borrower to obtain a more favorable interest rate.

13 Bad Credit A qualification of an individual's credit history that indicates that a borrower carries a higher credit risk. A low credit score indicates bad credit, while a high credit score is an indicator of good credit. Creditors who have lent money to an individual with bad credit face a higher risk of that individual missing payments or defaulting. Think Credit Score Having bad credit makes it more difficult or costly to obtain loans, such as mortgages, from financial institutions.

14 Things that could cause bad credit: making payments late missing payments defaulting on a loan filing bankruptcy maxed out credit cards foreclosure having an account sent to collections etc... high credit card balances
