Here is additional information on why it’s good to have credit cards, even in these tumultuous economic times.

We all are going to need a loan at some point in our lives and that’s where a credit score matters. The score is used by lenders as a predictor of how likely you are to pay back the loan. The score is based on the Fair, Isaac & Co. model (FICO), and the higher the score, the more reliable you are deemed to be. The types of lenders who will look for your credit score are bank lenders, insurers, landlords, employers, and utility companies. You can build a high credit score by owning several credit cards, paying the bills on time, and not using most of the available credit.
