usually I love to shit on muricans, But Germany has something similar. A private company called "Schufa". This private company secretly calculates your credit score (no one knows realy how they calculate it) which determines if you get an apartment (for rent) or not. Living in the wrong street already kills your credit score here.

If the Schufa doesnt have information about you, it counts as negative.

As someone, who loves dunking on the Schufa, as any good German should. The Schufa-Score isn't nearly as insane as some American credit score systems. Having an registered checkingsaccount & no outstanding bills or debt payments is enough data to have a high score.

You don't need to repay debt to show, that you are able to.
