This is such a weird system; in the Netherlands you're just assumed to be a good debtor unless you've proven otherwise; only not paying debts is recorded, and it usually doesn't (or never?) affect your interest rate.

In the US, it seems that you're basically forced to live "an average life" if you want to get any decent credit score. Land of the free indeed.
