Credit

Credit is the ability to receive a thing, service or other benefit now, with a promise to pay for it later. The person who provides the money, service or item is called a creditor or lender.

Some examples of common credit arrangements are...

  • credit cards, whether from a department store, gas station or bank
  • "rent-to-own" agreements
  • bank loans (personal loans, mortgages or personal guarantees)
  • home utility accounts for telephone, electrical or natural gas services

Applying for Credit

Understanding what businesses consider when deciding whether to give you credit, including credit reports and credit scores, can help you through the borrowing process.

Interest, Insurance & Optional Services

Credit comes at a cost. It is important to understand what your total debt will be.

The Regina Public Library and Saskatoon Public Library are hosting free Law Fair events during Saskatchewan Access to Justice Week to connect people with free legal information, assistance, and support. Attend to acquire legal knowledge and to broaden awareness of legal rights and responsibilities!
