How borrowing works locally

Payment history is reported to credit agencies, and that record is what builds or damages a credit file over time.

A revolving product charges interest on the outstanding balance, while an instalment product charges a fixed schedule of payments. Adding a co-signer puts a second file in front of the lender and adds a second person to the obligation.
