No Credit File or Score

Unfortunately, no credit can be worse than bad credit.

People who have never had credit are the worst credit risks possible

If you check your credit and it says no credit file, then the credit bureau has no information on you.

You need to start establishing credit as soon as you can. It will take a few years, with a few credit accounts and timely payments to build a history and build a decent credit score.

If you do have open credit accounts, and they do not show on your credit report, check with your creditor, and the credit bureaus to see why they are not reporting. Usually, it is due to having different names on the accounts.
