• CREDIT HISTORY
  
  A record of your debt payments that is generally maintained by reporting agencies. When you apply for a mortgage or any other type of loan or line of credit, the lender will pull your credit history to help determine whether or not you are likely to fulfill your obligations under the loan if you were to be approved.
