Credit is borrowed money. When an individual is applying for a credit card, personal
loan or any other type of credit, the lender must first decide if that person is a good
credit risk. Creditors do this by checking the individual's background to see how they've
paid debts in the past. They check not only the credit history, but also how non-credit
debts have been paid back, such as rent and medical bills. Many different types of
merchants report to the credit reporting agencies and they rate the account to reflect the individual's
repayment practices.
Most lenders use an underwriting system to determine whether an applicant is a good credit risk. Applicants are looked at for items such as occupation, length of employment and annual income. Lenders also use credit scores to rate the credit risk of a consumer. The higher the score equals to lower the risk.
