Credit
In financial matters, the word credit refers to the granting of a loan and the creation of debt. In commercial trade, it refers to the approval for making late payments for goods purchased. Credit has a large bearing on the movement of financial capital. It depends on the reputation or creditworthiness of the entity that owes responsibility for the funds. Credit itself cannot act as a unit of account like money. It is actually a representative of a unit of account. It is also a traded market, where the purest form is the "Credit Default Swap". Here, a protection 'seller' takes the risk of default of an amount in return for a payment. On the other hand, a protection 'buyer' pays the premium and delivers the receivable to the 'seller' in the case of a default. Credit becomes a big problem for many people. People land in situations where they cannot pay back what they owe to their creditors. This can happen even with people who are hard working and intelligent. A credit counseling company can be a big help for people who are in debt. You will find many such companies that give priority to your interests. People from such a company would discuss with you to understand your problems. They consider things like how much you earn and how much you owe
