  No Credit File  
  A “no credit file” occurs when you have no traditional credit information such as credit cards or loans. Traditionally, a customer with no credit would be put into the same category as someone with bad credit – even if they paid their bills on time. The result is higher interest rates or no mortgage loan offers.

Fortunately, all of this is changing. There are now options available for customers with no credit, provided they have a good history of bill payment and a steady income.
