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

A secured product gives the lender a claim on a named asset, which is why its price is usually lower than an unsecured equivalent. A provincial regulator publishes licensing requirements, and the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada publishes the list of provincial and territorial regulators.
