Credit scores are more important than the average consumer may realize. The score is used in all segments of everyday finance; including credit cards, insurance, and mortgages. Credit scores have become pivotal because the lending process has become increasingly automated. The determination of a borrower's ability to repay a loan is left to credit-score based computerized models. The higher the score, the easier it is to get credit and the better the loan terms.
