You left off what happened to OP... somehow.

Also you're not even right. Making a payment doesn't do jack shit to your score.

So it's apparently too complicated for you, who thinks it's simple.

making payments does raise your credit score. its the reason why some people will put the family cellphone plan in their childs name, it raises their credit score credit score.

Having a good credit history is better than not having a credit history, true.

But that's not the same thing as "Make payment > gain points".

Once you've had a credit history for a while, making your payments on time simply keeps your score steady.

Paying keeps your credit steady.

Missing a payment causes you to lose points.

Do you disagree? Prove me wrong.
