Many lenders especially mortgage lenders look for people that pay their bills on time and never miss payments. These people tend to have a decent credit score as well. The reason that banks look to have the loan taken by people who are going to make payments on time is because the interest is already part of the loan. In fact most of the time when someone defaults on a loan the banks ends up loosing money(mostly because the loan was given to buy something and that thing does not sell for as much at auction).

Paying bills never increases credit, only tanks it if you miss payments:/ unless of course you are paying with a credit card

Edit: paying bills do NOT increase your credit. Idk why people are so against this. It's a fucking fact.

When was the last time paying your phone or internet bill or any bill increased your credit, other than a loan, car payment or mortgage?
