    Despite the technicality, nobody refers to using a credit card and immediately paying it off as ‘going into debt’ and if you use it that way people aren’t going to understand what you’re meaning.

    The credit system is screwy, but if you can’t see the difference between social score and a financial score, that’s on you.

    Credit ratings are done internationally between countries, and most countries have some sort of internal credit scoring system. It’s hardly US specific, aside from our specific implementation.
