Before getting a loan, it is useful to know your credit history. What is your credit history? Your credit history is a list of your borrowing and repayment history from financial institutions. These include your loans, lines of credit, or payment of bills. This is compiled into a credit report that can be accessed by your financial institution before giving you a loan. Credit reports are used to assess if you qualify for loans, mortgages, and a variety of other uses. Are you unsure if you qualify for a loan? The best option is to check your credit history by requesting a report.
