What is Credit history?

Personal money

A record of how you have repaid loans and cards. Lenders check it before they lend to you.

Think of it like: Your report card as a borrower.
Real example: In the US, FICO credit scores run from 300 to 850, and paying bills on time is the biggest single factor.
Lesson: Good debt, bad debt
