<prompt> Human: my brother moved to Europe when he got a teaching job. he lived there for 11 years and only came back to the US every Christmas. he just moved back to NY because he was offered a job at a public university.I gave him my spare car for a couple of months and then he went to buy a new car. unfortunately, he was not approved because they said his credit history was a total blank. I guess thats not surprising, since he was out of the country for 11 years. will he have to start building his credit fresh, just like a kid out of college? : :  <response>: will he have to start building his credit fresh, just like a kid out of college? : :If he has no credit history, then he will have to start building his credit from scratch, just like any person who hasnt interacted with credit.You dont get credit bonus points based on age and the US credit system is completely separate from any other countrys system.
