I Accept Show Purposes. Your Money. Credit reports track not only how much credit you have had available to you but also how much of that credit you used -- that is, how much you turned into debt. Credit reporting bureaus use the information from credit reports to assign consumers credit scores. Lenders use those scores to gauge whether credit applicants are an acceptable risk, meaning they should be able to handle more credit without getting too deep in debt.

With a prepaid debit card, you make a deposit with the card issuer; then, when you make a purchase, the issuer draws down the deposit. And even if it does, the amount you owe may be way over your budget. Mortgage debt has traditionally been viewed as good debt because this investment debt should create value. Business loans are also in this category. Most people cannot afford to pay cash for a house or to expand a business, for example, so going into debt in these cases is the way to create value.
