What's the fuss about Credit Score / History?
Simply staying out of debt is not a good way of getting a good credit score.  My aged aunt has never had a credit card, loan or mortgage, has always paid cash or cheque for everything, never failed to pay her utility bills on time.  Her credit score is lousy because she has never had any debts to pay off so there is no credit history data for her.  To the credit checking agencies she barely exists.  To get a good score (UK) then get a few debts and pay them off on time.
