Content: Other general household costs such as grocery bills are also not included. How do utility bills impact my credit score? How you pay your utility bills does impact on your credit score (or “credit rating”), as utilities companies often share payment history with credit companies. What does this mean? Well, if you have a solid record of paying your bills on time, you will usually have an easier time securing a loan or contract (for example a mobile phone contract). If you miss a payment it may show you have a higher risk of defaulting on a loan. That means lenders may not loan you money, or you may be charged a higher interest rate. The last twelve months of credit history is usually the most important. If you have missed payments in the last twelve months, wait until you build up a stronger credit profile. Lenders can be forgiving of past blemishes.
