When deciding whether or not to grant a loan, lenders look for an ability to repay debt and a willingness to do so. Your credit report plays a significant role during the underwriting process and lenders will look at your credit report to see how much you owe, how often you borrow, whether you pay bills on time, and whether you live within your means. The important number here is your credit score. The higher, the better.
