how to build my credit score?

Your credit score— why do people make it out to seem like such a big, scary thing? Having great credit is ideal for buying a new car or getting approved for a house. But it is not something that we are born with. So how do you build credit? Building credit is a combination of a few different variables. For example, our payment history, your total amount owed, length of credit history, new credit, and the different types of credit. To build a strong credit score, you want to make all of these different variables work in your favor:

Payment History

Showing that you can continuously make payments towards your debt elps increase your credit score. This one is a double-edged sword because late or missed payments will cause your credit score to go down.
