How credit dictates modern life

Since lenders cant know each of us personally, they needed to find a way to grade us in order separate the trustworthy and non trustworthy among us. This was the birth of the credit rating agencies such as Equifax and Experian, their job is to assign a score to each one of us that is old enough to get credit.

That credit score has another unintended purpose however; it also represents your standing in society; it can affect how much you pay for goods, how much your insurance premium costs and in some cases when applying for a job, your credit rating can determine whether you get the job or not.

The poorer you are the more you payWhen a person walks into a store wishing to buy a fridge or any other item on credit, all are welcomed and treated with courtesy, it is when you get to the checkout point that your class shows; as soon as you provide your details, a credit check is quickly run, if your credit rating is good to excellent, the courtesy will continue, youre the kind of customer they want to keep; every effort will be made to make you feel comfortable, you can have any deal on offer including interest free credit on goods.
