at least in Germany we have SCHUFA scores

Literally the only country in continental Europe. Ahah Yes, very smart ๐Ÿค“

Literally the biggest economy and country with the most people in the EU. Ireland has the ICB Austria has the KSV1870.

And the other countries have also alternative schemes in Place where data about unpaid bills/debts is stored. Like the BKR in your home country Netherlands.

So, no we're not literally the only country in Europe that has credit ratings/scores.

Get your facts straight

:( I'm tired, this is stupid. European credit history (if you ever been in debt or late on installments) is very different from the credit score in US and, apparently, Germany (I wonder why). Ehi, you wanna support shark loans? Be my guest but don't expect sympathy.
