If you’ve got savings and a steady job and can offer something a house as security they’re gonna lend you the money to buy thay house, even if you don’t have a score.
The score as a number, and the concept of building your credit score, is really just something bankers tell you when they’re trying to get you to take a credit card.

I work on an adjacent industry.
Lenders lend money, that’s how they make money.

So if you have taken more loans in the past & repaid a lot of credit card debt you get a cheaper loan/can afford a bigger loan.
It’s what we call predatory tactics & are usually banned.
Fixed.
But still not true. The correlation is low, the system just feeds itself.
