How healthy are your credit ratings? Why do I ask? Well, because this thingummy called credit rating can actually affect the quality of your life? It could determine whether you lead a satisfied, happy life or find it extremely difficult to get the smallest of things done.

If you’ve ever applied for a personal loan, a job, or insurance, a consumer reporting agency promptly maintains your credit record. And they keep records of where you presently work, your designation, how many and what types of accounts you hold and your payment histories to these accounts. If there are any late payments, or outstanding debt, they are also mentioned.

All this information goes to create your credit scoring. You get points for each factor and the total points are tallied. This final figure helps the credit company ascertain if you will repay your debts on time.
