You may have heard others discussing credit scores and how important they are at one time or another. Your credit score is a number that indicates how faithful you have been in paying your debts back. Banks and other lending institutions take this number into account when they are considering you for more debt.  It is best to earn a credit score that is over 700, have a solid income, and low existing debt when you go into bank to take out a loan for a car or a home. If you are able to show that you have all of these things, you will be able to get a lower interest rate and the bank will be more willing to clear you for the loan.
