If you ever plan to take out a loan then yes you need to have a credit score. A prospective lender has no other means of finding out if you are a good credit risk or not. If you do all your transactions by cash, don’t use any credit cards, you will not have a credit score. The credit scoring companies will only have your name, address and where you work and how much you earn with them. So without a credit score in UK, your loan application is going to be rejected. So start using credit cards so you leave an electronic trail of your transactions. Also pay all your bills on time and you will have an excellent credit rating. If you have an excellent credit rating you can expect to be offered the best terms when you apply for a loan. Your credit score becomes your bargaining chip with lenders. Find out your credit score by sending an application to the credit scoring companies. You should get your credit score before you apply for a loan. If you know your credit score you can bargain with the lender. Remember credit scores are not universal. A good credit score in UK will have no trail in America or any other country.
