Payment history

The part of your credit record that reports your timely -- or not-so-timely -- repayment any debts, such as your mortgage, car loans and credit card balances. The payment history portion of your credit report includes every credit account you have and will note if you've paid bills on time, or if you're late (and how late). It also includes information about any accounts that have been referred to a collection agency. A long history of on-time payments provides lenders with a snapshot of how creditworthy you are.
