A credit score is a number assigned by credit reporting companies based on information available on your credit report.  Like a test score, the higher the score, the better your credit.  A good credit score shows that you have a high probability of repaying loans on time.  Therefore, a good credit score will help you take out loans more easily and even get better interest rates.
