Credit Rating

A credit rating is a measure used by lenders of the probability that any money lent will be repaid according to set terms. A bad credit rating will normally result in an increased cost of borrowing or a refusal of credit from lenders. Your credit rating can be sent to you in a report that is available at a small cost from credit rating agencies.
